“Microsoft has been awarded a massive contract to supply the US Army with more than 120,000 augmented reality headsets, MSNBC reports.
The contract, amounting to about $21.88 billion over ten years, follows a 2018 contract to build prototypes of the Army's Integrated Visual Augmented System (IVAS). The new contract will involve building working production versions of the system — a deal that stands to change the face of ground combat.”
Absurdity. $180k per headset delivered? Did they mean $21.88mm?!
Meanwhile DoD is giving Elon shit for asking to get paid for ongoing Starlink service in Ukraine, which has fundamentally changed the way they engage Russian troops and combat positions on the front lines.
