There is described an integrated reconfigurable man-portable communication system, adapted particularly for use in military or law enforcement tactical situations, including a modular compact computer with mission oriented hardware and software which provides the focal point for integration of various peripheral systems. The reconfigurable man-portable system provides a ballistic helmet with an integrated audio headset assembly. The helmet also includes a modular heads-up display assembly for providing remote viewing via a helmet mounted laser detection system, weapon mounted thermal weapons site, remote video system, and laser range finder/digital compass assembly. The heads-up display assembly and the audio headset assembly provides the user with tactical information such as; 360 degree laser detection from helmet mounted detectors, target location for direct and indirect target engagement from the weapon mounted laser range finder/digital compass assembly, and navigational positioning from a global positioning system and individual radio module integrated within a modular load carrying device. The integration and modularity of the man-portable system provides a flexible, mission oriented system capable of providing the user with enhanced awareness and communications ability.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention provides an innovative and improved vision and communication Land Warrior (LW) system.
The LW system is an integrated man-portable modular system capable of providing a soldier with real-time situational awareness and advanced communications capability.
The modular system includes a plurality of reconfigurable modular subsystems, a load carrying equipment for carrying the subsystems by the soldier as an integrated unit and facilitating flow of information between the subsystems and the soldier, and a data control device for operatively processing and controlling the flow of information between the subsystems and the soldier.
The LW system may be employed for relatively large or individualized applications such as in the military, law enforcement agencies, and the like.
The LW system is modular at multiple levels for mission tailoring and also for easy insertion of future technological enhancements.
The LW system maximizes mission performance by increasing mobility, lethality, and survivability.
The soldier is the foundation of the fully integrated LW system design.
In addition to the soldier, the LW system has five subsystems; the Integrated Helmet Assembly (IHAS), Computer/Radio (CRS), the Weapon (WS), the Protective Clothing and Individual Equipment (PCIES), and the Software (SS).
The LW system provides a seam-less integration of the above mentioned subsystems in a functionally packaged design to assure the soldier can handle physical and cognitive demands presented in the battlefield resulting in greater mission capability, combat effectiveness and survivability.
The integrated helmet assembly subsystem includes an integrated monocular heads-up display for all the information the soldier needs to successfully complete a mission.
Battlefield information such as maps, combat graphics, friendly and enemy position, threat detection, target range and angle, and weapon sight viewing are all controlled by the soldier.
The integrated helmet assembly design incorporates a ballistic helmet, suspension/retention assembly, microphone, speaker, laser detectors, and day/night sight displays
