The new vision system for tank personnel from the popular MechanicsA is expected to solve one of the most serious problems in the armored war: poor visibility.
Multi-function vehicle protection (MVP)
BAE systems's sensors use HD cameras to ring the outside of the tank, providing an all-in-one for the crew
The scenery around them.
This will enable tankers to identify and deal with threats faster than ever before, improve overall vehicle efficiency and ease crew fatigue.
The visibility of tanks has been a problem since the invention of tanks in the early 20 th century.
Soldiers inside the tank need to be able to drive their tanks and shoot at the enemy, but increased visibility makes tanks and tankers more vulnerable.
The larger the window or other aperture, the more likely it is to increase visibility, and the more likely the shell, small-caliber shell or shell shrapnel entering the tank will penetrate it.
As a result, most tankers can only observe the world through small armored horizontal seams, showing the narrowest view of the environment around the vehicle.
BAE Systems's MVP sensor is a system consisting of four HD cameras mounted on the hull of tanks or armored vehicles.
Each camera has a resolution of 1920x1200, a horizontal view of 120 degrees, and a vertical view of 75 degrees.
Each camera is also tuned to the longwave infrared spectrum, also known as thermal imaging or passive night vision, allowing the crew to watch through dust, fog, and smoke at night and in bad weather. (

In the past, different body positions meant that each crew member had a slightly different view of the world.
The MVP sensor complements the same HD quality 360 degree view for each crew member.
For example, this may allow tank drivers to bring up an object according to the normal view of the battlefield to attract the attention of the crew.
It can also allow those crew members who normally do not scan threats, such as the main gun loader, to join in watching feedback from the MVP sensor's non-blinking gaze.

MVP can detect and track threats and then prompt countermeasure to beat them.
These measures include "hard" counter-measures such as Israel-
An active protection system has been designed to shoot down incoming rockets and grenades and install them on the company's vehicle presenters.
MVP can also prompt for "soft" countermeasure such as the RAVEN of BAE, a directional infrared laser designed to "dazzle" and confuse the upcoming laser --

BAE's approach to armor vehicle defense actually reflects its approach to aircraft defense.
MVP is similar to the Company's common missile alert system, a network of electronic devices

The CMWS camera detects incoming missiles and then tries to blind their seekers by measuring an infrared laser with an Advanced Threat Infrared counter.
In the future, CMWS can also prompt the torch dispenser currently being developed and the iron fist of the aircraft version. In Arabia-
During the Israeli war, the Israeli armor theory required the tank commander to sit in the turret for maximum situational awareness, although the commander who did so faced heavy casualties.
On the other side of the coin, in the early days of World War II, Russian tankers were stuck in their tanks, and the perception of the outside world was notorious, a problem that led to their disadvantage with German tanks. An HD-
When safely placed in the belly of the tank, high quality observations of the outside world are almost too good to be true.
A system like MVP is very useful for armored vehicle workers, and it will soon become the standard for new cars, while gradually installing into old cars that are already in use. (
