The Era Of 'See-Through' Tanks Are Coming

In order to protect troops on the battlefield, vehicles need to be heavily armoured, but this has led to a trade off in visibility. But BattleView 360, developed by BAE Systems, aims to get around the issue by incorporating data feeds from cameras and sensors and streaming the information to a display for the soldier.

Daily Mail: 'See-through' tanks are coming: Military tech lets soldiers plot enemy routes while remaining behind heavily armoured walls

* BattleView 360 aims to get around visibility issues for soldiers under cover
* The technology is an extension of that already used by F-35 fighter pilots
* Streaming video to the display enables troops to 'see through' vehicles
* Its makers say it protects troops in the field and gives them the advantage

Battlefields of the future could see soldiers kitted out with headsets which enable them to see through the walls of heavily armoured vehicles and get live feeds from drones circling above.

As well as giving multiple battlefield views, the technology could provide soldiers key information about the location of other forces in the area and even plot routes for enemies.

Creators of the cutting edge technology, called BattleView 360, claim it could help protect troops in the field and give them the upper hand in the fight.
