The Integrated Crew Display System (ICDS) gives soldiers a perspective of the field they’ve never had before. The key benefit is reliable information and enhanced situational awareness that will ensure the safe completion of their mission. This system also leverages proven technology that Rockwell Collins originally created for the highly successful Mounted Warrior program.
The Vehicle Video Switch (VVS), a component of the system, accepts video sources from the electronic systems in virtually any type of military vehicle including the Abrams, Bradley, HMMWV and Stryker, and provides the display to vehicle crew members. Crew members can select from any of the video input sources, and view them on the ProView™ PV35 or MicroView MV35 Helmet Mounted Displays (HMDs). Up to four viewers can simultaneously view the displays. The operator controller is attached to the crew member’s vest, and is provided by the HMDs Display Control Module.
