Anduril Industries, co-founded by Oculus VR founder Palmer Luckey, has partnered with Microsoft to enhance the Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) used by the U.S. Army, integrating its Lattice software to improve situational awareness for soldiers. This collaboration aims to provide real-time data about drones, ground vehicles, and aerial threats, thereby increasing soldier lethality and safety. The IVAS project, which may yield up to $21.9 billion over ten years, previously faced criticism for causing discomfort among soldiers, but improvements have been made in the latest designs. Luckey envisions the technology akin to science fiction, enhancing soldiers' visual and auditory perceptions. The project is part of a broader military modernization initiative, with Anduril previously securing contracts for autonomous systems. The integration of Lattice into IVAS is seen as a significant step forward in military technology, leveraging AI and sensor fusion capabilities.
