The goggle is based on the Microsoft HoloLens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier versions of the augmented reality device, in development since 2018, will begin fielding to both operational and training units this year. Those are the 1.0 and 1.1 variants, as Army Times previously reported. The specific units to receive those devices have not yet been publicly identified by the Army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u201cdo-it-all\u201d goggle brings the situational awareness and systems approach more traditionally available only to platforms, such as fighter pilots or tank crew commanders, but for the individual dismounted soldier networked with a squad and larger units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the device has been tested in combination with existing platforms such as Army helicopters and ground vehicles, allowing soldiers to communicate with the crews and virtually \u201csee\u201d outside of the platform and pass data among their unit and the vehicle\u2019s crew.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/armytimes\/news\/your-army\/2022\/10\/10\/new-rollout-for-the-armys-22-billion-mixed-reality-combat-goggles\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"220\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/201030-A-XX000-008.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">New rollout for the Army\u2019s $22 billion \u2018mixed reality\u2019 combat goggles<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">After some delays, the Army will field two versions next year with a refined third version by 2025.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army is receiving 10,000 units total, half of the 1.0 and half of the 1.1. That incremental fielding will begin in September, according to Program Executive Office-Soldier spokesman David Patterson. Previous budget details covered an initial purchase of a total of 40,000 units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo date, the Army has conducted over 30 Soldier test events and more than 100 technical sub-tests with more than 1,000 Soldiers contributing nearly 100,000 hours of user feedback for IVAS,\u201d according to an Army release. \u201cThese tests validated the system\u2019s continued progress while providing areas for focused improvements.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.army.mil\/article\/263047\/soldier_of_the_future_to_be_fielded_by_ria_jmtc\" target=\"_blank\">separate release<\/a> Tuesday, officials noted that \u201cthousands of IVAS systems are on ground in [Rock Island, Ill. \u2013 Joint Manufacturing and Technology Center\u2019s], in preparation for fielding. The Army anticipates procuring up to 121,500 units for close-combat forces over the coming years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"6720\" height=\"4480\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/221012-A-XW754-0013.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86860\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/221012-A-XW754-0013.jpg.jpg 6720w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/221012-A-XW754-0013.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/221012-A-XW754-0013.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/221012-A-XW754-0013.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/221012-A-XW754-0013.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/221012-A-XW754-0013.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 6720px) 100vw, 6720px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Army Sgt.

Lessitte Canales\/Army)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IVAS 1.0 version provides baseline capabilities, which include navigation and rapid target acquisition with weapons sight camera linkage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 1.1 version adds an improved low-light sensor, and the 1.2 version will use a new form factor and reduce the profile of the heads-up display and distribute counterweight on the helmet-mounted device for better use and comfort, according to the release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Army Times previously reported further details of the version differences, such as a cable in versions 1.0 and 1.1 runs down the front of the user and connects to batteries will be moved to the rear of the helmet off the user\u2019s chest and shoulder. The 1.2 version will also be slimmer and lighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire IVAS 1.0 system, excluding the radio, is about 3.4 pounds. Of that, 2.4 pounds is on the soldier\u2019s head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For version 1.2, developers seek to cut the total weight to 2.85 pounds or less, the same or better than the Enhanced Night Vision Goggle-Binocular, officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The enhanced goggle is an advanced night vision goggle fielded in limited quantities to close combat forces in recent years that has shown vast improvement in night vision quality and improved marksmanship with its rapid target acquisition technology. The target acquisition tech was also developed at PEO Soldier and Night Vision Labs, both at Fort Belvoir, Va.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The incremental fielding is an approach that officials say will allow the service to push cutting-edge technology, and new structural designs while allowing soldiers to use the early versions as the Army advances the gear with new features and capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That cutting-edge tech has proved somewhat challenging. In an exclusive interview with Army Times in October, PEO Soldier commander Brig. Gen. Christopher Schneider said that the analog night vision the organization developed over nearly 70 years is reaching its technological limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New ways of fusing data with the night vision picture and applying advanced computing capabilities needed to process and deliver information to the user are necessary, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"5472\" height=\"3648\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/221014-A-LB938-0004.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86865\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/221014-A-LB938-0004.jpg.jpg 5472w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/221014-A-LB938-0004.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/221014-A-LB938-0004.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/221014-A-LB938-0004.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/221014-A-LB938-0004.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/221014-A-LB938-0004.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5472px) 100vw, 5472px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Soldiers assigned to 5th Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, help each other up a hill on Oct. 14, 2022, during Project Convergence 22 (PC22) experimentation at Camp Talega, California.
