Procurement of an HH-60G/W shared situational awareness system to allow crews to have a shared common operating picture delivered as a heads-up display on a clip-on eyepiece. This eyepiece also enhances the spectral response of night vision goggles allowing crewmembers to search in shortwave infrared and thermal spectrums.

ANG HH-60G aircrews require shared situational awareness (SA) systems to
quickly understand the common operating picture. The entire suite of systems will be carryon/
carry-off and airframe agnostic. The independent systems will send and receive information
from well-established combat protocols that fuse data onto a portable Android Tactical Assault
Kit (ATAK) hub. The hub will share information to individual nodes carried on by individual
crewmembers. Each crewmember shall interface with the shared SA suite via a handheld ATAK
and/or a AN/AVS-6/9-compatible clip-on imager. The clip-on imager enhances the spectral
response of the ANV-6/9 to include shortwave infrared or thermal and display compatible
tactical information such as waypoints, route, and datalink tracks on the eyepiece. Airframe
interaction will be via temporary internal antenna mounts and temporarily secured cables. The
ability to interface with already-owned military electronic flight bags, Foreflight, and automated
dependent surveillance-broadcast is desired. Finally, the ATAK hub and modular nature of the
shared SA Suite will inherently support rapid integration of emerging technologies, theater specific
applications, and rapid modernization.
