Developed by Microsoft it’s Based around their HoloLens 2 smart glasses headset technology. It’s now part of a roughly $400 million dollar defense contract with an upper limit of $22 billion dollars, so a lot is at stake with this device. What exactly is IVAS? According to the army it’s “a mixed reality heads-up display that integrates next generation situational awareness tools and high resolution simulations to provide soldiers with improved mobility and lethality during the day or at night.” So essentially It aims to replace your night vision goggles, communications, GPS and take over how you target enemy positions and run training simulations with your squad.

How much does it weigh exactly? Todd South of the army times wrote an article stating the IVAS 1.0 version weighed a total of 3.4 pounds with 2.4 of those lbs being the most important part which is placed on the soldiers noggin. For context, I was surprised to learn that the ENVG-B also weighs about 2.5 lbs. But unlike that, this is something you’re wearing all day long. This suggests to me that it's possible the slimmed down 1.2 version of the goggles weigh even less so thats encouraging news.
And in fact, Right off the bat the first thing that jumps out to me about the initial images of the version 1.2 compared to the older variants, is the much improved lower profile smaller glasses. The first version in 2018 looked like cumbersome skii goggles and now they look like lighter weight hater blockers. I mean look at the original version, they look a little goofy. Looks like robocop 2014 when I want to look like robocop 1987. In all seriousness this new version is a big step up in addressing one of the biggest points of criticism that troops had who tested the first version, which was that it was uncomfortable and annoying to wear.

I remember training at Ft. Sill and one night it was so dark that I couldnt see my hands. I felt someone was right in front of me and that feeling sucked so bad. Not knowing...not wanting to yell or give away my position or wake up the other soldiers if I opened up. That sucked, i would have loved to have the ability to detect movement or enemies more accurately. When I was in Afhanistan, I remember stumbling on myself when I used nods. I hated that it took me so long to familiarize myself with depth and I hated myself for not being faster. Enemy detection is essential for sure. So exciting to see technology improve.

I love that ArmA 3 made an appearance again at 19:25. Gotta love the MX series of rifles and the 3GL underslung, and the use of the MX Retexture mod is nice since it's a two tone instead of an ugly shade of tan. For reference, IVAS comes from a mod in ArmA, not in the base game. you can also tell the screenshot is modded by the inculsion of an Elcn Specter DR (the vanilla ARCO is based on the Specter OS with a strange knob on the side that doesn't fit anything from Elcan), the uniform on the right not being a vanilla faction, different gloves on the NATO uniforms, and different vest arrangements from the vanilla NATO vests. If you look closely, the helmets look like they're from RHS as well given the helmet covers and the texturing being more fabric based while still being either OCP or MTP.

@unknownuser069 Месяц назад

Your final point is by far the most important. 1-3 of these per squad. It's a TRADOC question - and that can affect smart engineering trade offs. Big Army is taking an all or nothing approach, and it is obvious this technology is improving, but it is still a decade from ready for general infantry use. I get it. The Army wants to skip ahead to when every soldier can have one of these... but we are too far from that for practical engineering reasons. We won't get where the Army wants to go without general exposure of these systems to all the different situations units encounter. Regardless, I still think this remains a great research and development project. What most people see as problematic development I see as the Army actually sticking with a long term project. Sometimes stuff NEEDS 20-40 years to build properly. We should not see that as a failure.

@miroslavstafi Месяц назад

Bro, the opinion from the other side, from simple Russian dude, DEROS. Itseems to me that it was a sign that you mentioned two different Robocops. In my opinion, the RoboCop remake is generally an undeservedly underrated and criticized film. I don’t understand, did people seriously expect another Verhoeven techno sur? The new one contains absolutely priceless thoughts. For example, the phrase “America is sick with robotophobia” is very appropriate. For example, it shows the war of the future, the war as America should wage it - several operators in augmented reality helmets sweep the streets of Tehran (to the point). Aren't these helmets preparing for real robotic warfare? I really hope for it. I repeat - the RoboCop remake is a hidden gem

@Taskandpurpose Месяц назад

I couldn’t get past the one human hand one robot hand. It was 90% the fact that ROBOCOP didn’t look like himself . I would have liked it a lot more if he’d just had the same character design . The story was a little too on the nose for me , by tying it to the global war on terror it dated the film instead of being timeless . That’s just my personal thoughts on it

@fidel-3470 Месяц назад

I have a ton of experience with the HoloLens, am a former Airmen, insider with Microsoft, and demoed it to some national guard units back in 2016/2017 and really tried to push for an IVAS, as I saw the possibilities first hand for war fighters. First, it's worth understanding that the Navy and Air Force have both procured HoloLens style devices for maintenance/training, I'd love to see an update there. The capabilities for aircraft maintenance are immense: an AI plus a SME can be pinged at any time to review my terrible safety wiring job and reprimand me for it. It can watch me do a tire change or refueling operation, ensuring compliance with technical orders. A couple things: IVAS needs a specialized helmet, and in it's current form it's integrated into standard helmets, a terrible idea. The Army and Microsoft couldn't figure out they needed a partner like Team Wendy to come in. It needs to be integrated into a helmet that can be mixed with a gas mask and other PPE. You can't have all of your IVAS soldiers screwed because someone lit off a CS grenade. Another problem was the controls, it took a while for Microsoft to figure out the control surfaces and joystick models that would be durable enough, and IMHO they still haven't nailed it. IVAS is really best for training, as you can record a live combat operation and have new members of your unit spend time in training "replaying" the actual combat operation your team went through as a augmented reality recreation. Your leadership and unit can review all aspects of a combat operation - all you need is a dark aircraft hanger - the actual combatants mapped to AI reactions. Every new boot in the unit can witness in every battle the unit ever engaged in, even moving side by side with their team. Giving every soldier an IVAS is unnecessary IMHO, it ought to be a specialist equipment for a new type of soldier focused on recon and electronic systems who embeds with combat infantry. The rest of the soldiers just have advanced combat optics and smart phones. In a future 2035 situation the soldiers won't need to fire their gun very often, they'll identify targets with their optics and drones and the actual targets will be engaged with tasked resources, such as a 40mm air burst smart ammo mounted on a walking drone 2km away, or an FPV drone with anti-tank munitions, or a JDAM.

@frankdamsy9715 Месяц назад

Here's the thing, as someone who is both an engineer and who shoots regularly in matches (not military I know, but still something I feel is worth mentioning), I've desired (and have now taken advantage of it) AR goggles from engineering, but I've never desired it when shooting matches. I could see how these would be useful planning, 3d maps and models are fantastic, but I'd never want to wear one of these in a firefight. Obviously these make sense and are probably outstanding in the realm of maintenance and repair

The comparison between radio is pretty accurate. Early radio was bulky and degraded the individual soldiers capability to do war, but gave the group massive advantages. Eventually radios were shrunk and distributed to everyone without massive degradation of individual capability. I see these smart sensor packs following the same trends. Give the gen 1-2 to a few trusted individuals in a squad. Eventually they'll give feedback and shrink and it will be better distributed without the negatives of early systems.

@samuelgibson780 Месяц назад

I think you're right. If every infantryman has a lighter, better set of these then you've got the best things about the F35 (network and sensor packages) on every front line soldier. Even if just a couple dudes are using rudimentary versions of these in each platoon, it would be as big as the radio. So it would be a silly military that doesn't invest in that. Will probably be huge for the evolution of tactics over the 21st century.

Saying something is pointless because there is a way to counter it is missing the reality of warfare. Since there is a counter to pretty much all military equipment, its just a case of using it at the right time and place. Eg Helicopters are not a waste just because MANPADS are a thing, same with drones and EMPs.

AR headsets would make more sense for vehicle crews, like a cheaper version of the F-35's sensor fusion headset for all the non-F-35 vehicles out there, and the constraints of weight and power would be much lower since the vehicle can carry most of the hardware it rather than a person. This would also give Army a "crawl-walk-run" progression of adapting the tech from F-35 to other vehicles _and then_ to infantry, rather than jumping straight to the much larger hurdle miniaturizing it enough to fit on infantry.

It also allows us to adapt better to emergencies as you don't need collective agreement before action is taken, each individual nation can do what they think is best regardless of the interests of others. See how international organizations take decades to respond to issues while contracted companies by a government can solve the problem within months. For example the movement for open borders and the injection of refugees from poor regions into rich nations have only resulted in a devolution of rich nations into violent and poor countries.

The underlying platform of "Windows Mixed Reality" has actually been abandoned by Microsoft, and the visionary executive who created all of it (Alex Kipman) was fired a couple years ago. One of the reasons Windows Mixed Reality didn't take off is because the developer ecosystem never took off because you needed two different types of developer expertise: Unity + .NET. People interested in both game development and enterprise business applications. So the software platform is really lacking. Meanwhile the hardware developed is genuinely spectacular. Microsoft developed an entire new series of microchips for the spatial computing. HoloLens ability to record 3D spaces was crazy, down to 2mm to 6mm of precision everywhere you go and look. This was possible things to a new software system of mapping 3D spaces uses 3-point triangles as the polygon making 3D maps smaller in file size. Genuinely amazing hardware.

@deadlydays3401 Месяц назад

@@blindsey8234 I wonder if they were trying to balance how front heavy the units were. One trick people use for neck strain is to at least balance front/back weight. The way the Hololens works too makes it tricky to size and I assume position in front of the face, since it is a really fancy projector shining light into your eye (so it needs room in front of the face). This isn't a 2d overlay, this is images in 3d space along with the actual physical stuff in 3d space in front of you (no reprojection) One other thing is color, you can't project black color. It is very interesting tech which afaik sounded dead end when I listened to light engineers that worked on it for hololens 2 release, there is a physics limit for angle they can project into your eye (so FOV), which idk if they've figured out a way to overcome yet. I want to buy one still, but 3k new and they don't seem interested in consumers buying them yet, its been out for years and years.

@chaosfenix Месяц назад

So I think there are a few clear ways forward. 1. The simplest is to update hardware. These are still in development which means that a new hardware revision could benefit the platform greatly. It is based on the hololens 2 which came out in 2019 and used the snapdragon 850. This is a chip that is on 10nm compared to todays top of the line 3nm. Even if the biggest gains are in battery life that would not be insignificant in a device with these demands. If microsoft were to do an update to the new Snapdragon X Elite this thing could gain a lot of performance while keeping the power consumption in check. That performance could be used to address some of the usability issues or it could simply be used to lower clock speeds saving power. 2. Full Helmet integration. Currently they are simply bolting the device onto the helmet which is necessary but once the device is determined ready this could be completely integrated into the helmet which could really help fix a lot of the ergonomic and even some of the weight issues of the device. I really do think that this is worth pursuing even if it doesn't get adopted right away. The army spent 9B on a new scout helicopter before cancelling it. A few hundred million on this seems very worth it especially since it could be used to replace other platforms like that scout helicopter when paired with a drone. This line of development seems worth pursuing. I feel the biggest issue they are facing at this point is the need to build out all of the capabilities they are trying for. The hardware can be relatively easily updated. It is the software that will take years to develop and refine. It isn't like they can simply grab existing commercial software for most of this stuff. This all has to be built from scratch.

@briancong12345 Месяц назад

Here's my thought: It's likely nigh-on useless in the kind of conflicts that the United States has seen within the last 30 years. Better targeting? Sensor fusion? What useless gimmicks when all you're doing is sending Hellfires onto insurgent heads -- it's impossible to justify the weight and bulk to an infantryman whose main job is to walk patrols and engage in small-scale firefights. And that's the bulk of the institutional experience that the US Army has right now. But it should scare the shit out of near-peer enemies, because having each infantryman in a battalion be a networked sensor node is the US Air Force's wet dream. It might be that ultimately the cost to equip every single infantryman in the US Army is too high -- or might not -- but ultimately I'd bet you that each squad leader and/or radioman ends up with one.

@chaosfenix Месяц назад

@@briancong12345 Yeah not every soldier necessarily needs one though it could potentially allow for better noise discipline between users. I get what you mean that against someone that we already handily beat in tech it isn't going to change how they fight. The better targeting shouldn't be overlooked though. The m4 with iron sights is only accurate out to about 500m. With new weapons systems like this and the new rifle and scope the army is coming out with we may be able to extend that out 50-100% thank to the more powerful round and better optics. That can be very meaningful in a fight if you can engage the enemy 500m before they can start shooting at you.

I've tested the German iteration of the land warrior system 10 years ago and I have to say that it was great. Now that I'm a civilian and being an apprentice in the IT industry I went to school today and we had a topic in class called "change management" There are different kinds of people who you can put into 4 categories when it comes to change something. The resistor The promoter The braker The sceptic In English there are known 2 types: The change agent The change resistor I completely understand the struggles the infantry has in the tests, I've done the same exact thing. And what I've learned about is this: If you accept it, and you know how to handle the tech it's a force multiplier like you can't even imagine. If you resist it, you will lose performance. This applies to all levels of warfare. It's like an IQ test, which you can do up to 30% better or worse depending on your personal motivation. Even one guy in that testing platoon that got there, instead of getting deployed with his buddies to a warzone can seriously impact the result on the negative side. If you CAN handle that tech and you WANT to use it, it's crazy effective. The conclusion we came up with back in the day was: Only give this system to the guys who WANT it and are fluent in it's usage, one or two guys per squad can give you a huge advantage on the ground. Spotting enemy reinforcements moving to their firing position and to mark that and send it to the CAS/Artillery support is enough to turn around the outcome of the day and sending less men home in a coffin.
