>>64391907Every time I see anything from Anduril, I get a sinking feeling in my stomach that General Dynamics will have to take over the contract and bail out because it's actually important. That's what always happens when some dipshit contractor gets in over their head on something actually important: GD comes in and gets it working. It won't be cheap, it probably won't be fast - but they will get it done.
the kneejerk response to Anduril is amusing.

So is this going to be digital NV + thermals or what? Is it going to replace PVS-7/14? How does ENVG-B factor into this?

>>64391842Will those fancy goggles protect the guys from being FPV'd?
>>64393383boomers were already imagining exploding drones and homing munitions in the 80s
>>64393365>So is this going to be digital NV + thermals or what?Yes, it's a continuation of the IVAS program which was intended to replace both of those pieces of kit in addition to providing a realtime HUD battle management system
>>64393246I think thirdies are so funny because they cling to any negative press of the American military with a death grip. One of these fat niggas weekly caloric intake is more than the average bugman brownoid sees in a year, and that’s a good thing
>>64393418No, the suite of anti drone technology we have does that. I understand it’s a difficult concept for you, but I don’t blame you for being born into substandard living conditions and choosing to stay there your entire life and also be a nigger online. Imagine it’s like magic, but instead of bullshit that isn’t real, it’s just out of reach to whichever flyover country you inhabit.

>>64393498Your points are so vague they don't need addressing as it shows your lack of knowledge in this field. Do you even own a smartphone?
>>64393373>>64393433Interesting if the goal is replacing analog NODs. Hate to bring up China as the chinkshill is ITT but they're doing something similar, cheap digital NV with video streaming to higher echelons. Just enough to navigate and negate the enemy's night advantage.I hope that there'll be a way of integrating analog NV though. It's not like there's a shortage of them. ENVG-B integration could be important.
>>64393509>expert in slop>muh smartphoneNot beating the allegations
>>64393418Those goggles are linked into Lattice, the battle management fusion software Anduril plugs everything in to, notably their AI smart jammers, directionfinding, and aerial drones with thermal image recognition. They will absolutely give a popup saying FPV launched here on the minimap, launch an interceptor, and have a flashing button saying press X to counterbattery this spot.
>>64393520>I hope that there'll be a way of integrating analog NV though. It's not like there's a shortage of them. ENVG-B integration could be important.Why the fuck would you want to carry around/issue a secondary NVG set? That's a shit ton of money in a very fragile package on the command side and an annoying amount of weight that you now need to find a spot for that isn't going to break if you're lugging them around since your helmet mount is spoken.

So did IVAS get cancelled outright or was it rolled into whatever they're calling this program?
>>64394130IVAS was cancelled, Anduril bought the associated IP from Microsoft to continue development on their own. This isn't part of a military contract, Anduril is funding it themselves because Luckey likes VR headsets.

>>64391842Luckey has been teasing EagleEye for quite some time and has now snagged one of two development contracts with the Army. The company, he explained, is actually working on four EagleEye variants, all in various stages of development. That includes an 80g (2.8 oz) Oakley standard issue glasses design, as well as a ballistic, full-face shield option that is being designed in-house. Two such EagleEye variants will be on display for the first time this week at the Association of the US Army’s annual conference, along with a new company product line — body armor. “EagleEye is less one product, and it’s more a platform that other people can build products on top of,” he said, explaining that the lighter glasses could be used by soldiers working in logistics roles, while the full-face shield could be better suited for soldiers on the frontlines. “The full-face ballistic shield fully encapsulates your head to protect primarily [from] blast force,” Luckey said. “Now, that’s a much wider field display. It’s over 200-degrees wide and over 100-degrees tall. It’s a very different display system that’s more like a night vision pass through system. It’s not optically transparent. It’s a full reprojection system.” In September, the Army tapped Anduril and the startup firm Rivet to proceed with the IVAS redo for the hardware component of the system.Based on photos on its website, Rivet’s design closely resembles glasses. At the time of the contract award, Rivet CEO David Marra said his company signed a $195 million contract with the Army that will cover an 18-month rapid prototyping sprint. Those dollars, he said, will be used to continue engineering and testing work, and the production of 470 “production representative” devices.Anduril, meanwhile, said it received a $159 million contract for initial prototyping, with plans to begin delivering close to 100 units in the April-June 2026 timeframe.
>>64394331The AI part is likely getting trashed early on. It’s only real use case is going to be for assisting repair work as far as I can tell. Otherwise it’s a liability simply because AI can be easily fooled by text or an unexpected object. The other issue is networking and segregation. Great idea to have a device that’s unsecured linked onto an entire company command network or even further that an enemy can recover and see what you’re doing, your positions and where they think you are, not to mention just social engineering attack their way into. A better idea is just having it link into GPS coordinate systems to display local maps and such, and integrate in NV and maybe Thermal into basic glasses displays. That would be really fucking useful.
>>64394379Expanding on this, it would be cheaper too. I can think of a few tricks that could be pulled with helmet mounted cameras and the linked glasses that could expand to a personal area network - no need to link to higher command, no need for a long range transmitter, no need for communication outside a squad frequency for marking targets on a map and displaying them on a map. Having the ability for higher command to remote into cameras is great in theory, in practice it’s already available in other ways that don’t need to tie into a tactical network system and make the entire thing a nightmare if even one part of it gets compromised. This isn’t even getting into the cheaper nature of developing something like this compared to a fucking AI pipe dream. We already have most of the tech available through mobile phone development over the last decade. Google glass is another proof of concept for this in terms of map integration. Being able to link a set of glasses to helmet mounted cameras and have that display be overlayed over one or both eyes is very much easier and less power and less expensive. If you can link the helmet cameras to a pair of glasses, you could do the same with weapon optic cameras, wired or wireless. That can make for some really interesting displays with augmented reality. Basically, ok, there’s this TTRPG called Shadowrun. Look up how its smartgun systems are described. Thats the goal/idea, linking the display to your gun so you can “see” your trajectory, even if you’re not looking down the sights.
>>64394379Can't be fooled by text if it's not trained on text. AI doesn't have to mean language models.
>>64394790Except it can be, because they're correlation engines and you don't always know what things they're prioritising when identifying soldiers.It might not read the text on your shirt that says "I AM ACTUALLY A HARMLESS WOMBAT" and be tricked into thinking you're a wombat, but it could be tricked by the fact that nothing in its training set for enemy combatants featured big blocks of text on their shirts, and it put an oddly high priority on that because lots of the photos it had of civilians featured t-shirts with prints on them that include text.
>>64394803An interesting vector would be QR code patterns, potentially? It’s an interesting idea for digital camo for vehicles for IFF for autonomous vehicles.
>>64394803I wouldn't expect it to identify someone wearing a civilian t-shirt as an enemy combatant anyway so I don't see the problem. It would be nice if it could tell me if the thing he's holding is an RPG-7 or a huge telephoto lens, but if I'm close enough that it could read the word CANON scrawled on the RPG, I would know what it was anyway.
>>64394859Only if the headset has some sort of provision for being able to read QR codes. They're just compact barcodes, there's nothing magical about them. I don't see why you'd use a QR for IFF because you don't need that level of information density to say "USA" or some shit, and you can't use it to encode some sort of cryptographic signature because it's outwardly visible and someone else could just copy it.
>>64393190>not shown in the webm: loud african lady singing: AYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY EOEOEOEOEOEOEOEO.
>>64394876The idea with the QR code is you could use it with semi-autonomous weapons systems to prevent friendly fire by integrating it into the camo. The reason for using it in as a spoofing mechanism is that it might screw up pattern recognition for the AI - one of the big LLM advancements for smart phones has been being able to scan a QR code with a camera. Depending on data models being used you could do something as stupid as convince an autonomous weapon you are in fact a bottle of shampoo.
>>64394319Why appeal to retarded "muh srs bzns warrior ethos" faggots? The cat ears are awesome and moe. They can tell the boomers they actually look like owl plumicorns or something.
>>64391842>"STICKMEN could be here" he thought.
>>64394893It wouldn't work at long range because the whole point of digital camo is that the colors blend at a distance. If the blocks were big enough that a camera system could clearly resolve them, it wouldn't work as camo.>one of the big LLM advancements for smart phones has been being able to scan a QR code with a camera.That has nothing to do with AI and double nothing to do with LLMs. Like I said, QR codes are just square barcodes. Phones have had QR code readers since the featurephone days.
>>64394915>since the feature phone daysFuck man now I feel retarded because I’m seeing it isolate it in the camera feed and thought that was LLM shit and not just basic. >The distance issueI was thinking Berlin Brigade style digital more than anything honestly, maybe should have explained that. >just bar codes lolYes I know they are, what I’m talking about is using that contained data to poison and confuse the AI because it’s seeing a bunch of signals that “I am 124823&&73833” or something like a code injection attack (IIRC someone used something like that with smartphones at DEFCON one year but that could be accounted for more easily if we’re talking off network rather than a redirect)
>>64394223where do you think the clancy games got all their future soldier concepts?
>>64394931So LLMs are just one form of neural network, and neural networks are what are collectively meant when you hear the buzzword use of AI.
>>64394931>Yes I know they are, what I’m talking about is using that contained data to poison and confuse the AIThis only works if the headset has the ability to read the QR codes. The simple solution is to just not add that functionality.
>>64394943That’s the simple solution but who knows if they’ll actually do that honestly.
Can't wait to hear xXx[FaZe]_PFC_B1ggB4llz_xXx saying "EagleEye, record that" while farming WarfighterScore.
>>64394963Why would they add a QR code reader to the headset? What need does a soldier have to read QR codes on the front lines?
>>64395002Opening the biometrically sealed container of Rip-Its they bought at the PX
>>64395002Because some genius is going to be like “wait we could include instruction manuals/use codes/power points” because this is procurement and scope creep will happen with something like this. They’re saying these are going out to pogs and logi guys, you think the brass is going to skip the idea you can scan an entire cargo manifest into your eyepiece?
>>64395044They're saying pogs will get a different system based on the same tech that's just a pair of glasses. It might make sense to include a QR reader into the glasses, but not into the helmet.

>>64393673>>64393694The only real issue I see with this is heat, but I'm sure they've got something figured out. If the goal is ever to make full exoskeletons, cooling is probably one of the the hardest problems to solve.
I forgot Palmer is the founder of Oculus so if any company will be onto implement combat AR, it's Anduril.

>>64393190ghost in the shell shit
>>64393673they're going to have to put one of those russian drone cloaks over the the plate to make the heat invisible
>>64395378>I forgot Palmer is the founder of OculusThis fact right here is singlehandedly the one fucking fact no one knows about Palmer and Anduril relative to this program that makes a lot of people quietly reconsider their contrarian horsehit and/or desperate chang downplaying and dismissal.
Remember me?

>>64391842I wonder how much each unit will cost? according to sources they are getting payed 1.6mil each for 100 prototypes but that does include research, development, and tooling. Battery armor, hearing protection, sensors, glasses, compute modules and radio would cost how much vs this new helmet.

>>64392842How do you fly the FPV anon? Manually? I'm so sorry for your thirdie ass.These goggles link to a federated network of autonomous sensors. The drones fly themselves. While you're fondling a joystick to adjust propeller pitch on your homemade slop, a hive of six Ghost autonomous scouts is autonomously searching your battalion footprint, calling in artillery strikes on your triangulated position, launching interceptors, and highlighting you behind a tree for the Halo goon with a Sigshit wall-piercing rifle to get their personal kill.

>>64395257>hardestPut some vents in the facemask to blow the hot air out and put a small unit on the back of the helmet to generate cold air and inflow. It's not AC for an entire home it's AC for your extremities, so it basically costs nothing in terms of electricity. Even a tiny breeze on your face in an enclosed environment goes a long way

>>64398499>>large UI elements >Reasonable, they ought to be less intrusive I presume they are, for video purposes. Think about how small things often look when you take a picture of them, vs seeing them with your eyes. The real HUD is probably much smaller, so small that it'd look strange in a video format

>>64398726This does little to nothing to advance the police state they already use drones and armored cars having the drone streaming to your glasses is basically nothing
>>64398726>this tired false dichotomyTechnology exists. Join the users or get oppressed by them. There is no opt-out of society and stupid crap like "policemen don't deserve bulletproof vests" only discredits any lingering crumbs of legitimate criticism you could have aspired to. You want cops to die? Ok, I will gladly become the designer for the weapons they need to put your antifa ass in prison.
>>64392842>Poorfag Slav nations having a slapfight is indicative of all future warfareJust because Russia can’t into Logistics and Reddit’s Chosen People are able to rack up bodies with RC planes, doesn’t mean that’s how all war will go. Or maybe it will, since we (America) are just so much better than everyone else in the whole world.
>>64392628>2142 is becoming realMass issue a top-break space revolver as a sidearm and I’m in.
>>64391842I'm no expert but I would think you want to be really careful when broadcasting individual squad members precise locations in 3d space to a network of devices.
>>64398802 #I don’t want cops to DIE, just for them to be forcibly reverted to an easier to handle state so they can easily be taken care of if they get uppity. They can go back to big niggerwhackin’ hickory batons, .357 revolvers and mustaches. That’s enough to handle tweakers and Soros-funded “protestors”, while leaving them vulnerable enough to good correct-thinking men to handle with force if they over-step their domain.
>>64398619Right because a multi billion dollar company that exclusively sells to the military is going to do advertising on fucking 4chan.
>>64398913>"easily handled if they get uppity"Cute backpedal. What's good for the goose is good for the gander, so don't say you didn't ask for this. I know you'll understand. Tomorrow, there will be no shortage of good police with facial recognition software, no shortage of correct-thinking patriots with taser-drone swarms administered over-the-horizon to uppity haters. They will take care of you all the way.
>>64398911If it has enough compute to do predictive AI I think it can handle real time adjustments aiming laser coms.
>>64398955Yes, theres literally a recruitment general on this board. If I ran a company i'd reach into every heart and mind especially when it costs nothing to post. we're incredibly compromised on chan
>>64398958Well, if they behave and only direct their low-brow behaviors toward enforcing laws and beating minorities, then a white dude won’t HAVE to go out and explode their lungs with an AR. It should just be easier to if they don’t do their jobs.
>>64399005You can't go two posts without devolving into anti-police murder fantasies. That's why I support better gear for cops. It keeps uppity lowbrows like you behaving, so you don't get the mistaken idea you'd stand a chance at the criminal violence you support.Call it overmatch.
>>64398966How will that work without line of sight?
>>64398955Making a post on the 4chanz is astonishingly cheap in the engagement market.
>>64399057Doesn't need to be lasers, they can (and should) use radio beamforming. It increases range as well as reducing observable emissions.
>>64398619based on what?
>>64398468> smashed safety testsnot immediately exploding when a hydraulic press slowly pokes in it is an excellent start but I stand by the fact that a large, flat cell full of volatile chemicals placed directly above where a person is mostly likely to be shot is highly retarded. >>64398486> wanting a powered armor system's battery to not be placed in a stupid position makes you a fuddhuh???????
>>64399056>You just want to MURDER COPS reeeeNo, I just want it to be easier for their betters (middle class and above whites) to do so if necessary. But if their low-IQ groid brains stay focused on just roughing up hobos and paid protestors and issuing traffic tickets, then there’s no need for violence. They don’t NEED armor or wallhacks to do their jobs properly, and they should nevee be given too much of a technological edge on actual people.
>>64399099>durr, what if da camera breaks because it catches bullets and shrapnel that would otherwise have gone straight into the grunt's face>why aren't people taking me seriouslyTruly a mystery for the ages, you fucking retard.
>>64399099>Stupid position>The only place on the entire soldier guaranteed to be fully covered by armorAlso I think it's intended to be the back plate, they just show it facing forward for display purposes.
>China designs new carriers, new cruisers, new 7th generation jets, new tanks and IFVs>Americans design toys and video games
>>64399161Very implessive, but the US has new versions of all of those things (except tanks) that actually work.
>>64399161This is bait, but a good reflection of all the genuine cope and seethe ITT
Everyone outside the continental USA needs to be exterminated right the fuck now.
>>64398314The 'what if something breaks the camera' shit is 'soldiers shouldn't have helmets because it increases the chance of headwounds' level of retardation
God, I can't wait for Anduril to release their IPO. I'm going to be on that shit like white on rice on a paper plate in a snow storm.My best stock performers are defense industrial thanks to all the new reforms getting pushed the DoD and Defense Industry.
>>64399127Normally I don't engage with people such as (you)rself but for the sake of the argument I'm going to anyway.Do you genuinely, wholeheartedly, honestly to god see no issue with an entirely opaque visor, through which the only way to see is via several small electronics? Do you seriously think that's a design that'll hold up well after months of use, or being dropped, or soaked by rain? Because I don't. I can think up about a hundred ways for the enclosed helmet to turn into the world's expensive head-mounted brick. Shit, I mean it'd be trivial for them to add even a slim sapphire or ballistic glass backup visor. It'd look damn good as well.
>>64399315If only they had multiple versions, including a ballistic glasses version. Oh, wait they do as demonstrated in the very first images posted in this thread? Oh, and you can remove the frontplate on the fullface version if it somehow gets damaged, likely by something that would have ruined your day and needed a casevac? Golly, Batman, it seems like you're a fucking retarded fudd who doesn't understand that electronics can be ruggedized while also provisioning for failure in the field. Should we go back to lugging around paper maps of everything at the squad level because you find it impossible to imagine that a tablet can survive being used by the average Army squad?
>>64399268"What if something breaks the camera" is a good argument because more complexity = more things to break, but the solution is to make the camera easy to repair or replace.
>>64396602Given the likely proliferation of lasers which can instantly blind you its likely that totally opaque helmets, probably with removeable visors, are going to become standard.

Lord of the Rings is like that. If it’s the enemy, there’s killing without separation between civilians and soldiers. That falls within collateral damage.”>from ‘Hayao Miyazaki named the Hollywood films that he hates the most’ by Swapnil Dhruv Bose
