Something to think about for the New Wave IVAS enthusiasts.

 Not only echoes of eMagin who if it succeeds, which is very much an open question, will be the display that finds its way into the device but echoes of MVIS who were never in it and managed to keep the lie alive long enough to swindle the gullible.

IVAS has a number of problems which continue to vex the Program, the problems of Physics vs.The Brain,a real use case and a potential Administration's overhaul of DoD spending are beginning to haunt the Rings of the Pentagon. It is looking likely that there are big changes coming if the election trends continue. 

There will be an attempt to implement a Fortress America Defense Department that is about defending the Homeland i.e. a grand Star Wars II that will be an Anti-Ballistic Missile Defense System, a new relationship with Russia that ease tensions and they stop the Anti-Russian brain-washing that goes on at Fort Liberty and West Point that provides the fuel for endless Defense Spending. Bases will be closed and a sincere desire to not have Weaponry as a principal US Export Market. A return to Soldier-Centric Philosophy and pulling in its horns as to Overseas Adventurism which will seek to build a strong Mission-Oriented Force based upon real Manpower not some Bullshit Power-Point fueled Ironman dream.

Part of that will involve taking a hard look at the Defense Department Budget and the Waste,Fraud and Abuse that's been it's life-blood for the last 50 years.

The Army has put off committing to the Program until at least next year and there's a good chance they are going to decide that IVAS is just a really cool idea with zero Strategic or Tactical Merit. The days of throwing money at Novel Ideas will end as they should. 

And one more thing. A serious company does not advertise their Meetings with Anduril or others in a Public Presentation.
