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
