(Washington D.C.) The U.S. Army has adapted emerging high-speed thermal imaging goggles now on the fast track to help dismounted infantry engage in close-in, crossfire combat to save lives in the service’s War on COVID 19.

The Army’s Soldier Lethality Cross Functional Team said prototype models of the Microsoft-engineered goggles are being used to quickly take the temperature of soldiers in training.

“The system is being employed today to rapidly assess the temperature of hundreds of Soldiers each day as they prepare for training on an installation that hosts thousands of Soldiers in dozens of courses, including basic training and Ranger School,” the Army statement states.

Interestingly, the fast-developing Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS), which includes imaging goggles and thermal weapons sights, is intended for a range of significant uses in warfare, providing tactical advantages to soldiers on the move in close-quarter combat.
