Maxentric is proposing a heads-up display (HUD) system that takes advantage of augmented reality (AR) technologies to overlay information onto the battlefield and enhance situational awareness (SA). MaXentrics solution will refine hardware and software requirements for Marine Corps use cases and deliver functional HUD prototypes for next-generation AR HUD systems that can serve both as training aids and operational tools in close air support (CAS) scenarios. MaXentrics HUD solution will be unobtrusive and mountable on existing Marine Corps helmet Night Vision Goggle (NVG) rails. The solution will be low-cost (
Benefit: Maxentrics solution will support the Marine Corps in transitioning the HUD system to fielded equipment. Specific examples of commercial markets that could use this technology include manufacturing, law enforcement, and other hands-on tasks in time-critical domains.
