That next step will come later in fiscal year 2022, according to Maj. Gen. Anthony Potts, commander of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2021\/09\/17\/new-army-and-air-force-body-armor-gets-fielded-to-the-82nd-airborne-division\/\" target=\"_blank\">Program Executive Office-Soldier<\/a> and Brig. Gen. Larry Burris, director of the Army\u2019s Cross Functional Team-Soldier Lethality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Potts told Army Times that IVAS goggles have been worked through his command\u2019s Soldier Integration Facility \u2014 a test area where soldiers get to try out new technologies early in the development process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two-star said that developers want to mature the heads-up display before moving forward with the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s very interesting, we have found working with [the Army\u2019s] Night Vision Labs that this is one of those [things] where we are really out in front of the technology curve,\u201d Potts said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IVAS program will conduct a user trial in January 2022 on the newest, ruggedized design that is being built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe know we want this newer design for the baseline [model],\u201d Potts said. And if those trials work out, operational tests of the IVAS are planned for later in 2022, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In March 2021, the Army announced a $21.8 billion contract with Microsoft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The initial purchase includes 40,000 devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IVAS is how the Army will move situational awareness and targeting \u2014 like what jet pilots have had for years \u2014 into the eyes of dismounted soldiers roaming the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plans call for IVAS to include rapid targeting acquisitions, thermal and night vision capabilities, navigation headings, mapping, markers, data sharing and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current IVAS prototype weighs 2.5 pounds, the same weight as the newly fielded Enhanced Night Vision Goggle-Binocular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also has recording capabilities for instant after-action videos and it uses the existing tactical assault kit \u2014 a smartphone-based app \u2014 as its off-board computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Network capabilities allow the device to share data within the squad, platoon, company or even a mission headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Company-level cloud services called \u201cbloodhound\u201d share, store and route the data from each soldier into the larger Army network for information dissemination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Developers are even testing out 3-D mapping scans of building interiors, which could be sent into the IVAS, allowing assaulters to see the layout before they move in for close-quarters combat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some development has been pushed but fielding could start next
