Iirc IVAS made like 50% of soldiers nauseous to the point of throwing up. So let’s shoot some more billions at this, sure
having been in combat, with electronic gear designed for the military, i can say this will be a million percent terrible. it’s gonna be too heavy (already they carry too much- i have degenerated discs as do many of my buds) and will break constantly. to say nothing of keeping it charged- who wants range anxiety in a combat situation.
now i will say that going to Iraq radicalized me against war and i filed as a conscientious objector, but back in those days right after 9/11 there wasn’t much of an antiwar movement.
My first thought was the reliability. Can you rely on this new tech in a life or death situation. I didn’t even think of the batteries.
I might be fearing something unrealistic, but hope this at least doesn’t depend on network connectivity at all times.
