THE PROBLEM
↑ Multiple interfaces and locations
↑ Increased complexity
↑ Increased power & weight
IMPACT ON SOLDIER
↑ Increased mental load
↑ Greater movement & error
↓ Reduced speed of operation
↓ Reduced situational awareness
↓ Reduced safety

CURRENT SOLUTIONS
• Not programmable or “smart”
• Limited growth potential• Change devices – change interface
• Limited command set
• Multiple locations
• Difficult to use:• On the move
• Eyes-free
• Hand on weaponFrench FELIN
US Land Warrior
German IDZ

RIFLE INPUT CONTROL
• Five button, rugged controller
• Mounted on foregrip of rifle via standard Picatinny Rail
• Standalone/Integrated
• Programmable
• Wired or wireless
• Internal/external power

OPERATION
Press single or multiple buttons (chords) to operate Incorporates patented technology:
Chordic graphical user interface (CGUI)
For example:
PRESS THUMB AND FIRST FINGER
Minimal training required. Users remember key functions (muscle memory) Eyes-free operation
