Is it me or is the Army sounding a little mixed about the problems with the reset? AFAIK Moisture doesn't cause SDE and perviously Potts or Hodne can't remember which...

said that they had accomplished a "Wider FOV" by decreasing resolution out to 200 Meters in the Goggles widening FOV and relying on the FWS-I to identify targets at longer distances. The "cut" is for the time spent on Testing and Evaluation and the money would be restored when they sort all this out. Money deferred, not cancelled But anything can happen with Reed & Rosa running those Committees. This is a proposal and still subject to Markup and the Conference. IVAS, Hypersonics and the rest are subject to same Inflationary forces as everything else as contributing to the Budgetary climate. The program is not through the woods however IVAS remains an Army Futures Command Top 6 Priority and the most anticipated. As always...we'll get through the rapids someday but until them we have to paddle.

"The Committee understands the Army remains committed to the program and is committed to seeing the technical challenges resolved prior to fielding IVAS to operational units. In light of these developments, the Committee has transferred $75,000,000 to Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Army to help the Army address any development shortfalls in fiscal year 2022. The Committee also proposes to reduce the procurement request by $778,864,000 without prejudice to the program while the Army conducts its review. Prior year procurement funding remains available should the Army be able to reach a production decision based on the results of future test events."
