SOFIC 2014 – Six15 JTAC Kit

Wednesday, May 28th, 2014

Six15 Technologies has developed a kit for use by JTACs consisting of their new Tactical Battlefield Computer and Odin see through display. The kit creates augmented reality by feeding data through the computer to the Odin to provide the user with actionable intelligence. I had a chance to try it on for a demonstration and it was cool to see the icons in the HUD that popped into view with additional info when I looked in their direction .

Six15 Technologies is announcing the release of their direct view monitor for military applications called the Standard Mobile Monitor (SMM). This monitor will serve as a complementary device for non-head mounted display (HMD) applications. This low cost monitor is semi-rugged but has an optional kit available for purchase that upgrades the monitor to achieve optimal ruggedization.

The SMM is designed specifically for use in ISR markets, in which Six15 is already well-known for the production of their Tac-Eye 2.0 HMDs. The Tac-Eye was originally developed as part of the BAO HMD program and is popular worldwide within the ISR community with Six15 making regular deliveries to L3, Coastal, and Harris. The SMM comes with custom adapters and will be compatible with all of the same products as the Tac-Eye, such as L-3’s SIR, Coastal’s MVR VI, and Harris’ 7800t.

This monitor implements a 5” WSVGA, 1024×600 display and contains its own internal power source, a 5400 mAhr lithium ion battery, which has a life of 8 hours. The Gorilla Glass window ensures that maximum scratch resistance. The first 270 of these systems have been shipped to TACP-M. Units are available for purchase through ADS, Inc.

Six15 Technologies is located in Henrietta, NY and completes manufacturing in house. Here the systems are fully integrated, configured, and tested before being sent to the market. Our military qualified production facility manufactures OEM components for thermal imagers, off-the-shelf military and industrial display systems, R&D projects, and custom computing and display solutions.

Six15

Early this year Vuzix TDG changed its name to Six15 Technologies after an $8.5 million dollar acquisition led by Thayer Bancroft Equity Partners. We have mentioned Vuzix many times over the years so it’s great to see that their display work will continue.

“We are excited to launch our new brand as we expand our technology and the markets in which we operate. With continued emphasis on the defense industry, we are rapidly expanding our offerings through broader integration of solutions to the needs of our defense customers. At the same time, we are leveraging our proven technology into the commercial, industrial and medical communities,” said Rich Ryan, President.

Six15’s offerings include augmented reality and High Definition see-through Head Mounted Displays.
