But it would also pair with existing night vision devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lancaster said the command is interested in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2023\/10\/09\/apps-to-drive-how-soldiers-use-armys-mixed-reality-device\/\" target=\"_blank\">displaying only the data<\/a> needed in the moment and noted that displays must be configurable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe want to give them the right information at the tactical edge, already analyzed so they can make quick decisions where they are,\u201d the officer added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635587375700180567-nav-onr-future-force43jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-58215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635587375700180567-nav-onr-future-force43jpg.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635587375700180567-nav-onr-future-force43jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635587375700180567-nav-onr-future-force43jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635587375700180567-nav-onr-future-force43jpg.jpg?resize=1024,682 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635587375700180567-nav-onr-future-force43jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Joshua Kvavle uses Google Glass to talk about employing augmented reality at an expo in D.C. on Feb. 4, 2015. (Staff)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army has been working on the Integrated Visual Augmentation System since 2019. The $22 billion program\u2019s device is scheduled for final testing this year. It is a helmet-mounted device that combines thermal, night vision and augmented reality features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the ideal eyewear for special operations would be a much lighter, single item that combines eye protection with an information display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lancaster also discussed the digital projection close-quarters sight, a short-range weapons optic that would cut the need to mechanically boresight the optic with the weapon. If successful, the new optic would eliminate \u201cthermal drift,\u201d Lancaster said, which is a technical problem where temperature can cause a holographic weapon sight\u2019s point of aim to shift off target by as much as a foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also on the eyewear front, Adam Fields, the program officer for protection and integration with USSOCOM, asked industry for the \u201cmagic lens\u201d that would solve many vision device problems for operators. The preferred lens would offer ballistic and laser protection as well as transition from clear for indoors or nighttime use to tinted for daytime use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That way, Fields said, \u201cI don\u2019t have people with a big bag full of lenses going: \u2018Hold on, I got to switch my lens out to the smoke lens because I\u2019m going outside.\u2019
