The HUNTR system developed over the past two years uses an Android port of a software package called ARC 4, according to a CERDEC presentation given at an industry event in October 2015. ARC, developed by Applied Research Associates, was also used in an earlier DARPA augmented-reality program called Ultra-Vis. The data from ARC can be displayed either within enhanced night-vision gear or on a variety of existing head-mounted see-through displays.
