Raytheon BBN Technologies is developing the “human-machine” interface as part of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency‘s Ground X-Vehicle Technologies initiative, the company said Monday.

The platform will employ lidar data and high-definition videos to generate a 3-D model of a vehicle’s surroundings as well as utilize additional sensors designed to locate to locate incoming hostile fire and friendly forces, Raytheon added.

David Diller, GXV-T program manager at Raytheon BBN, said the company aims to create a virtual experience to give soldiers a view of the environment outside their vehicles.
