UK Soldiers Test Next Generation Body-Worn Technology

Cutting-edge data visualisation tools, integrated sensors, and live intelligence feeds are all connected within a single system known as the Future Integrated Dismounted Soldier Vision or FIDSV.

The helmet includes integrated power and data feeds, enhanced audio, a universal Heads Up Display (HUD) interface, and a mounted strobe alert system to identify friend or foe. A head-mounted night vision system (HMNVS) can also be used with enhanced digital night vision and injectable imagery capabilities.

The next generation of body-worn technology has been put through its paces by UK soldiers, bringing a modernised advantage to the battlefield. The aim of the trials is to integrate available technology into wearable tech for soldiers, advancing battlefield awareness and allowing faster tactical decision making

    Helmet looks like a modified Galvion Caiman and the headset might be a newer version of their Sensys ComCentr2 headset.

    Did that thing ever come to market?

    It’s Racal RA5100 headset. Helmet with rails looks Galvion-ish.
