FORT BELVOIR, Va. — The Army has figured out how to lift the fog of war, or at least see through it.
Soldiers are on the verge of receiving futuristic devices that replace night vision goggles and allow soldiers to shoot around corners, see through dense vegetation and smoke, plus distinguish friend from foe.
“It is no longer just a night vision device,†said Army Col. Christopher Schneider, the project manager for the system that can be worn night and day. “The enemy can’t see we’re targeting him until we pull the trigger.â€
