Case Study: NIITEK improves soldier threat detection and situational awareness with Visual Logic UX design

NIITEK boosts critical detection screen real estate by 33% with Visual Logic

Visual Logic partnered with NIITEK, a specialist in Ground Penetrating Radar systems for the US Military, to address a critical challenge. Their Husky Mounted Detection System software, used to detect IEDs and protect soldiers, was failing users. The interface suffered from poor readability in sunlight, a lack of visual hierarchy, and an absence of historical data, hindering soldiers' ability to make quick, life-saving decisions in high-risk environments.

The solution from Visual Logic involved extensive field research and over 50 color readability tests to create a redesigned interface. The new system improved spatial awareness, increased critical detection screen real estate by 33%, and integrated historical threat data. The impact was profound: 100% of soldiers felt the system enhanced their mission ability, 93% preferred to deploy with it, and a significant majority reported greater detection capability and an increased belief in their own survival.
