Military Augmented Reality Headsets

Q-Warrior by BAE Systems Gives Soldiers Iron Man Vision

— February 26, 2014 — Tech
The military receives some of the most sophisticated pieces of technology out there first and the Q-Warrior by BAE Systems, a multinational defence, security and aerospace company headquartered in London, is one of them. It is a headset that provides wearers with augmented reality visuals so they can access such data as personnel tracking, hostile enemy detection and waypoint information on the fly. Easily attached to existing helmet designs, it also includes enhanced night-vision and full-color feeds to and from other allied forces.

Lightweight and low-cost, Q-Warrior by BAE Systems essentially arms soldiers with real-time visual data like that used by Iron Man himself. Coupled with real-world Iron Man suits dubbed TALOS and United States soldiers will be unstoppable.
