For everyone’s situational awareness, the ISEEYOU360 Tactical First-Person View (FPV) Goggle System has been under development via a couple of USAF Small Business Innovative Research grants. Initially envisioned for EOD UGV operations, it offers advantages to any unmanned system (UXS) operator whether ground, air, or maritime.

It can be used in inclement weather, sunlight, or darkness with interoperability in an Open System Architecture (OSA). As you can see from the photos, the goggle integrates with current head protection systems. It uses remotely deployable Wi-Fi through ground control, the system to provide agnostic UAV and UGV operations with hardware and cabling applications, software interface, hard surface mounting, connectivity, and signal amplification solutions.

It’s an immersive FPV goggle that offers several advantages over use of a tablet. For one thing, there are no distractions outside of operating the unmanned system. Second, there’s no light signature. Additionally, the mixed reality offered by ISEEYOU360 increases situational awareness.

Below is a short video demonstrating the system.

In addition to operation of unmanned systems the ISEEYOU360 can be used for loitering munitions. Additionally, the manufacturer is working to integrating AI but they have not been forthcoming on what features they plan to incorporate.
