However, due to prolonged delays and productivity problems, the technological giant now wants to pass the entire Anduril contract. The army has not yet approved the change, but both companies are optimistic. The IVAS program used Hololens 2 technology to create a mixed reality system. The purpose was to give the troops improved situational awareness in combat and training scenarios. Soldiers who tested the first versions of IVAS reported problems such as shaking, dizziness and nausea.
These failures led to numerous recycles, dividing the program into three versions: IVAS 1. 0, 1. 1 and 1. 2. The latest version, IVAS 1. 2, was aimed at solving previous problems with a new hinged flat structure, which provides a 60 degree view. Despite these adjustments, the army did not make the final decision on mass production. The results of operational tests of IVAS 1.
2 are reported to be published in the period from April to June, which will help determine whether to give up production, start a limited issue or undertake a greater purchase. As the army considers the possibility of holding an IVAS NEXT competition, industry players are preparing to participate. Companies such as Kopin and Palantir from Massachusetts have been interested, although many have not yet revealed their plans. Earlier, we wrote that the US Army intends to launch IVAS program by 2025.
