The Army should \u201cprioritize improvements\u201d before a wider fielding to reduce the \u201cphysical discomfort of users,\u201d Guertin said, according to Bloomberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report, which was not made public, was marked as \u201cControlled Unclassified Information.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exercise chronicled in the report was conducted in May and June, although service members have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2020\/02\/19\/top-enlisted-soldier-tries-do-it-all-goggle-being-tested-by-army-marines\/?utm_source=clavis\" target=\"_blank\">testing the Integrated Visual Augmentation System<\/a>, or IVAS, for the last few years. In 2020, Sergeant Major of the Army Michael Grinston reviewed the systems as soldiers tested out the goggles in drills, such as clearing rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The appeal of the goggles, Army leaders shared at the time, is that they give low-level leaders the ability to easily run new soldiers through various battle drills, building up small unit skillsets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goggles are supposed to provide a \u201cheads-up display\u201d for ground troops, similar to those utilized by fighter pilots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guertin noted in the report\u2019s summary that improvements are needed with the goggle\u2019s low-light sensors, display clarity, field of vision and other essential functions, according to Bloomberg. Guertin also noted that the latest model of the goggles \u2014 a customized-version of Microsoft\u2019s HoloLens \u2014 allowed for \u201cenhanced navigation and coordination of unit movements.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army has proposed spending upwards of $420 million on the program this fiscal year and estimated that it may spend around $22 billion on the goggles over the next decade, citing costs including spare parts and support services, Bloomberg reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But while Army budgets and estimates view these goggles in a positive light, the report shows that soldiers may not be as infatuated with the goggles as planners are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The level at which soldiers accepted the goggles \u201cremains low,\u201d the report showed, and both soldiers and leaders don\u2019t think the goggles \u201ccontribute to their ability to complete their mission.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Microsoft was not given a copy of the Pentagon\u2019s test results, the technology company told Bloomberg in a statement that \u201cour close collaboration with the Army has enabled us to quickly build\u201d and adjust the goggles \u201cto develop a transformational platform that will deliver enhanced soldier safety and effectiveness. We are moving forward with the production and delivery of the initial set.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army\u2019s assistant secretary for acquisition, Doug Bush, said the Army \u201cis fully aware\u201d of concerns from the testing office and adjusting the program\u2019s schedule \u201cto allow time to develop solutions to the issues identified,\u201d Bloomberg reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite these results, however, Bush gave the Army the green light to begin accepting the initial 5,000 sets of goggles produced that had been put on hold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The report said soldiers didn&#8217;t think the high-tech goggles \u201ccontribute(d) to their ability to complete their
