IVAS relies on the successful development and
integration of 15 critical technologies. The Army
Research, Development & Engineering Command
conducted a technology readiness assessment in
August 2018, which concluded that all of these critical
technologies were mature or approaching maturity at
program initiation.
In contrast, OUSD (R&E) concluded in January 2019
that technology risk is high for IVAS and identified the
Color Waveguide Display Module as immature.
Specifically, it reported the display module did not
have the required contrast or field of view for daytime
use. In addition, the display module needs reduced
light emissions to ensure light security for night
operation. While program officials disagreed with the
overall conclusion that technology risk is high for IVAS,
they are aware of the Color Waveguide Display
Module risks and plan mitigation activities.
