Elbit isn’t the only company operating in this space and developing the potential of putting information directly in the vision of operators. When Microsoft announced the Hololens it immediately sparked the interest of the US Army which recently signed a deal with the tech giant to further develop the system for troops. The US Army is set to purchase thousands of the headsets to deploy across its military.
Size is integral for Elbit and Microsoft, with the cycling use case being a key- test for the future of augmented reality glasses in the hands of warfighters. Soldiers and cyclists have a key thing in common; helmets. Giving soldiers advanced systems is not advantageous if it hampers their survivability. The Raptor glasses present a clear advantage; if they can fit under a tight, aerodynamic cycling helmet they can also fit under a ballistic helmet maintaining a soldier’s protection while extending their capabilities.
