From maintenance to training to combat the future will be supplemented with more and more information and all the systems and companies building and countries fielding them are badass. No VR
>>65155736Canceled Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) project that is now Soldier Borne Mission Command (SBMC) with Anduril's Eagle eye replacing it.
>>65155746Weird Chinese copy of the Microsoft's Hololens technology that was the basis for the IVAS program
>>65155736Marines are trying Tele-maintenance, the remote diagnosis and repair of equipment, has traditionally relied on phone calls and manual instructions. However, the arrival of AR and VR technologies promises to take maintenance capabilities to an entirely new level. By overlaying digital information onto the real world (AR) or creating fully immersive virtual environments (VR), these technologies provide a more intuitive and effective way for technicians to perform maintenance tasks remotely.
>>65155746IVAS 1.1 vs IVAS 1.2 revision
>>65155759Reminds me of an Archotech Eye. This is very cool because ideally anyone could throw on a headset and be guided step by step on how to service a vehicle. They just need to follow the AR steps which highlight the next action. Would be VERY cool if it could also diagnose issues in real time as well.

>>65155736Rivets SBMC submission in testing
>>65155858Elbit America just 2 months ago got a contract for SBMC for $120 million for prototypes so i think that makes 3 companies in the running to get the contract after microsoft dropped the ball on the IVAS program.
>>65155901do we know anything about how IVAS petered out? or just hearsay
>>65155972I think mostly soldier feedback that they were getting sick while wearing it and it would "get them killed" if they used it at night because anyone can see the light coming off them.
>Instead of carrying 15 pounds worth of batteries, you now get to carry 30 pounds worth of batteriesF U T U R E
>>65155736Why does it look so gay?
>>65156198If we get exoskeletons that allow you to carry 300 more pounds before your knees suffer the military will make soldier's kit be 375 pounds.War is secretly a conspiracy of big orthopedic.
>>65156198900 Wh battery ceramic NIJ level IV plates with compute and radio are coming and will be lighter than all those things separately
>>65156257>gets shot>explodessick
>>65156276Im sure the NIJ, military, and anduril never thought to make the ceramic battery non flammable you truly are a genius
>>65156341Brother, the inherent nature of batteries make them explosives. There's no getting around that.
>>65155736I wonder about the next level stuff they aren't telling us like cloning, biological/technical upgrades, nanotech, and Neuralink brain–computer interface.
>>65156454If only they made materials specifically to contain Lithium fires.Oh wait. You just add a fire retard layer to the plate, ya retard.
>>65156341Yes, retarded flamboyant tolkienfags and the government do stupid shit all the time.
>>65156454>>65156545Ceramic batteries (a type of solid-state battery) generally do not catch fire and are much safer than traditional liquid-electrolyte lithium-ion batteries. By replacing the flammable liquid electrolyte with a non-flammable solid ceramic material, they eliminate the primary fuel source for battery fires. Try doing one minute of research instead of extrapolating from videos of electric cars catching fire on the news.
