The Wilcox FUSION CLAW™ is a cutting-edge, AI-driven headborne system that offers a modular platform for warfighters to tailor their mission setups. With “plug-in” modules, it integrates seamlessly with HUD technology, night vision systems, communications, multi-spectral identification friend-or-foe (IFF), directional laser targeting, forward illumination, mission recording, and a power management system that ensures continuous operation throughout the mission. Designed to be lightweight and snag-free, the FUSION CLAW reduces cognitive overload for warfighters by consolidating power, data, and computing into a single platform. Its modular smart battery pack enhances control over connected devices and provides an additional downlink connection.

This innovative framework features Wilcox’s Universal Helmet Mount Adapter Rugged (UHMA-R) and G24-Xe, which connect to a smart battery pack that includes a visual augmentation pack computing module. This module enhances advanced night vision goggles and heads-up displays by providing digital information and augmented reality capabilities. KOPIN adds the DayVAS capability to the FUSION CLAW, offering a daytime-optimized, full-color augmented reality heads-up display for daylight operations, along with DarkWAVE, a night-optimized “clip-in” for standard night vision goggles. The Visual Augmentation Pack, developed with ARA, is easily interchangeable and upgradable to meet specific mission needs or adapt to new technologies. The modular smart battery pack supports various power sources, including the EXO Charge Small Tactical Universal Battery (STUB), AA, CR123a, and Conformal Wearable Battery (CWB), with the flexibility to integrate future battery systems. Additionally, Attollo and Wilcox have teamed up to implement multi-spectral laser detection for identification friend-or-foe (IFF) alerts, warning operators if they are being targeted.

The advanced power and data-enabled side rails are the result of a collaboration between AVON Protection and Wilcox, enabling modularity for both high and mid-cut helmet systems. This rail system offers a versatile interface for accessories such as the MOHOC recording system and SureFire multi-spectral illumination system, allowing them to draw power and communicate with the smart battery pack for enhanced functionality. Additionally, INVISIO contributes to the FUSION CLAW with advanced audio and communication capabilities, providing hearing protection, multiple power options, and active noise reduction.

FUSION CLAW offers a scalable and adaptable combat solution that equips operators with a tactical and technological edge, enhancing their capabilities without causing overload during operations. Its lightweight design promotes full situational awareness, optimizing efficiency while maximizing lethality on the battlefield. As part of the FUSION DELTA ecosystem, FUSION CLAW enables continuous, autonomous real-time monitoring and consolidates all activities within a secure network. This integration significantly boosts capabilities from command to the tactical edge, allowing operators to form agile, coordinated teams equipped with fully integrated sensors, information services, and weapon systems.
