FORT BELVOIR, Va. (April 1, 2026) — U.S. Army researchers are engaging with industry’s night-vision capability developers to help guide science and technology investments.
The Army Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center recently hosted more than 20 companies for demonstrations and briefings as part of the service’s strategy for night-vision S&T adoption, adaptation, and development. Topics included precision targeting systems, cooled/uncooled infrared sensors, augmented reality, and thermal fusion solutions.
“Participating in the Association of Night Vision Manufacturers event enables the Army R&D community to gain a better understanding of the emerging concepts and capabilities from industry,” said Dr. Richard Nabors, Principal Deputy Director of C5ISR Center’s Research and Technology Directorate. “The dialogues help inform us which technology areas can be adopted or adapted in the near term for the battlefield and where new research and development is needed.”
In addition, C5ISR Center subject-matter experts presented services available to help industry advance their solutions. These include field experimentation at Fort A.P. Hill, aviation integration and testing at Davison Army Airfield, virtual prototyping, sensor performance evaluation, and the night-vision weapons firing range.
“Army scientists and engineers combining expertise with industry counterparts enables the military to deliver the best weapons systems to Soldiers while ensuring the optimal government investments,” Nabors said.
