Anybody with moderate intelligence would be aware of the deficiencies cited in the Report by the GAO and the Report to Congress and that the major deficiency cited was as the Mitre Engineer said "The weakness of the screens".

Interestingly that particular language does not show up anymore in the stories of a few weeks ago. 

The nausea reports, the problems with moisture, the unreadable Symbology, Zero Light Security "that Soldiers hated it" were all factors in the Program Execs decision to re-jigger IVAS. So who do they ask to fix the problem? The same guys who built ENVG-B and Smarteye, the IDFs version of IVAS. Smarteye has all the qualities of IVAS save Digital Night Vision as Elbit has had a tough time with COVID, stresses in the Supply Chain are the reasons the Army said, "Elbit here's the money, get it done". 

When finished it will have White Phosphor coating preventing light bleed, will be impermeable, will have enough Contrast, High Brightness and Luminance Matching where images are sharp and text can be read in any Light Environment, zero latency, no nausea. Only one display can do that, the only one Qualified for Advanced Night Vision Systems and Funded to tune of $40 Million. The development of the Low-Light Sensors dovetails with the Army's Goal of having a slimmed down version of IVAS by 2025 not the Boat Anchor currently pictured.
