BAE offers tank crews 360-degree vision

Borrowing technology used for situational awareness on jet fighters, BAE Systems has unveiled technology that allows vehicle crews to "see through" their vehicles for 360-degree vision.

BattleView 360 is essentially "a digital mapping system that collates, displays, and tracks the positions of all surrounding features of interest in two- or three-dimensional modes," said a BAE news release.

Among its features are a head-worn component that can be synced to vehicle cameras in both visual and infrared. Dismounted soldiers can also wear to relay information back to the vehicle.
