US Special Operations Command wants industry to propose a helmet-mounted display through which special forces could steer FPV drones and view tactical data without looking away from their surroundings. It published a sources sought notice on November 9.
The display should have a 50-degree field of view, ballistic protection, head tracking and built-in control of uncrewed systems, and overlay data from the Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK). It must work with the helmets, radios and devices operators already carry.
The command describes the effort as market research, not a solicitation, and has not given a budget, quantity or fielding date. Responses are due on December 1.
