Synthetic Vision displays the world around a ground vehicle, giving the driver a "clear-day" view of surroundings from different vantage points - even when outside visibility is poor.
 
 
Drivers can pinpoint their location and navigate to their destination while avoiding danger.
 
 
Nav3D SV allows real-world vehicles to operate at high speeds in low visibility.
 
 
 

Ground vehicles - military or civilian, wheeled or tracked - face a range of difficult environments where enhanced visualization capability is beneficial. Synthetic Vision not only provides a day-like view during low-visibility driving conditions, it also provides a complete 3D presentation of the world around you for improved positioning and mobility.

Challenges for Ground Vehicles

  • Navigation on roadless and mountainous terrain
  • Driving through complex environments, such as urban centers
  • Operation in low visibility caused by smoke, dust, and darkness
  • Avoidance of hazards near the vehicle, including airborne or underground
  • Positioning relative to objects that can't be seen visually (behind walls, under the ground, etc.)
  • In-vehicle embedded training
  • Training for operators of Remotely Operated Vehicles
  • Management or navigation of a formation of vehicles

Benefits of Synthetic Vision for Ground Vehicles

  • Displays can be mounted at the driver’s station and throughout the vehicle as needed
  • All-weather, all-visibility, all-hours vehicle operation
  • External views show your position in relation to landmarks and other vehicles
  • Easy-to-follow roadways, based on Nav3D's Highway-On-The Surface (HOTS) symbology
  • Ability for a lead vehicle to create a path, then pave a "virtual roadway" over that route for others to follow
  • 3D markers to indicate important waypoints
  • Remote views looking at your vehicle from any location - an excellent tool for determining whether an emplacement has line-of-sight to your vehicle
  • SV system provides ready-made embedded training capability
  • Mission recording and replay for After Action Review
  • ROV control stations with 3D terrain awareness and formation control capability
