Microsoft signs $22bn deal to supply US Army with HoloLens devices

Dubbed the Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS), the headset is a unique deployment for Microsoft’s business-centric AR device, which is ordinarily supplied to customers for training and guidance purposes. Launched in 2019, the HoloLens 2 allows users to interact with three-dimensional holograms and popups through gestures, making it ideal for use by engineers and even medical staff. The US Army’s IVAS devices, however, integrate high-resolution night and thermal vision, as well as additional sensors, into a heads-up display (HUD). This, the US military has claimed, will provide situational awareness, target engagement functionality, and more informed decision-making for troops. “This award transitions IVAS to production and rapid fielding to deliver next-generation night vision and situational awareness capabilities to the Close Combat Force (CCF) at the speed of relevance,” said the US Army.
