The Defense Dept thinks it's a viable program. Please see Jerry's talk below. Plussed-Up IVAS. My theory on Microsoft's seeming move to LBS is that Kipman said Microsoft would have a Hololens 3.0 to show in a couple of years. The Microsoft snowflakes started "How dare you use us to kill other people!". The SJWs were in an uproar sending petitions around the company urging Microsoft to back out of the $500 Mill contract. Nardella said "Sit down and shut up." They did. IMO Microsoft is "all hands on deck" with this program and they are not about to show their hand to the world. Jim has shown time and again Bernard Kress and his infatuation with Pancake Optics. Mr. Fink is correct. Military>Enterprise>Consumer

The Army has also plussed-up funding in FY20 for the new Integrated Vision Augmentation System for the Infantry, which fits in the Soldier Lethality category.
