Rockwell Collins debuted its new combat helmet-mounted Integrated Digital Vision System for troops on Tuesday.

The new gear combines mission data and multi-spectral vision into an advanced display system while offering a 24/7, hands-free, seamless transition from dark to light environments, Rockwell said in a statement.

The announcement of the array was made at Land Forces 2016 in Adelaide, Australia.

The system is the first hands-free, helmet-mounted display system that fuses incoming data from various sources such as a command center, other troops or drones with multi-spectral vision.

It does all that while automatically transitioning in real time from dark to light environs.

The system build's upon Rockwell's aerospace and defense vision technologies, which include the F-35 Lightning II helmet and civil aircraft head-up displays.

The vision system is designed with an open architecture to provide an upgrade path for future technologies, Rockwell said.

Washington (AFP) Sept 4, 2016
Throughout the history of modern warfare, countless wounded fighters have been saved from bleeding to death by tourniquets - the straps or ties that wrap around a damaged limb and staunch hemorrhaging. But what if a soldier is shot through the pelvis, or in the armpit, where a tourniquet would be of no use?
