eSAS

Night vision
& situational awareness
system with AR for soldiers

More than 35 embedded sensors for cutting-edge
situational awareness system and soldier’s health

A concentration of technology !

  • HMSD (Helmet Mounted Sight & Display)
  • OST (Optical See Through)
  • Dark night vision (NATO level 5)
  • Wide (80°) & unobstructed field of view (minimum blind spot)
  • Thermal/visible fusion
  • Threat detection at 360°
  • Lightweight and better balanced than NVGs
  • 10 hours mission

EXAMPLES OF MISSIONS

  • Neutralize enemy forces in dense architectural environments (buildings, basements, floors).
  • Protection of teammates and civilians.
  • Efficient coordination in a confined environment.
  • Move discreetly and efficiently over steep, unstable or dangerous terrain.
  • Maintain group cohesion despite dispersion.
  • Anticipate and react to extreme environmental conditions.
  • Observe and identify enemy targets without being detected.
  • Collect visual, environmental and tactical information.
  • Transmit or store intelligence data in real time.
  • Observe and identify enemy targets without being detected.
  • Collect visual, environmental and tactical information.
  • Transmit or store intelligence data in real time.
  • Attack several points simultaneously in the dark.
  • Maintain coordination and identification of allies.
  • Remove enemy defenses in the first shock.
  • Locate, stabilize and extract a wounded combatant in a hostile zone.
  • Maintain vital functions during evacuation.
  • Coordinate with an extraction vector (drone, vehicle, chopper).
  • Maintain order and protect the population.
  • Identify troublemakers in dense crowds.
  • Remain non-lethal and non-intrusive.
  • Prevent access to or takeover of a sensitive point (forward HQ, ammunition depot, communications relay).
  • Continuously monitor approaches to the perimeter.
  • Carry out an operation or reconnaissance in a contaminated environment.
  • Survive and detect CBRN threats.
  • Create a secure base in a potentially hostile environment.
  • Install communication and surveillance systems quickly.
  • Intercept a fast-moving target.
  • Reduce collateral damage.
  • Locate concealed or remotely triggered IEDs.
  • Identify electronic devices or chemical triggers.
  • Neutralize or avoid these threats.
  • Extract an individual or sensitive data (computer, document, hard disk)
  • Ensure the integrity of the data or the life of the target.

Features

  • Night + LWIR/Thermal + 3D vision
  • Blue force localization (avoid blue-on-blue)
  • Navigation (GNSS)
  • Others sensors : temperature, pressure, humidity, toxic gaz, particulate matters

Health monitoring & predictive status :

  • External body temperature, brain activity / BCI, soldier’s attention (gaze tracking), pupillometry, heart rate variability, blood oxymetry, head & body movement, perspiration

Vision of remote tactical optronics (vis/IR cam on a weapon/UAV/UGV, wireless spy cam)
