Rheinmetall Electronics UK has signed a partnership agreement with Lightspace Technologies, Latvia, to advance and produce Augmented Reality Systems using multi-focal technology for use in XR and AR applications for the military market. Multi-focal solutions offer the ability to present images and information across multiple focal planes, giving significant operational enhancements and removing the eye fatigue induced by other single focal-plane solutions.

During 2023, Rheinmetall Electronics UK and Lightspace Technologies engaged in proof-of-concept development that was demonstrated as part of the Rheinmetall offering at the UK Ministry of Defence Army Warfighting Experiment (AWE) and to the UK Army’s Armoured Trials and Development Unit (ATDU). This solution was applauded for its impressive capability and approach.
