The U.S. Army has handed control of the Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) project to Anduril Industries, moving on from Microsoft's troubled tenure as the primary contractor. Initially developed to enhance soldiers' capabilities using augmented reality technology, IVAS faced persistent problems, including user dissatisfaction and functionality issues highlighted in a 2022 Inspector General report. While Microsoft retains involvement as a cloud provider, Anduril's expertise in AI systems is expected to refresh the project, though specifics on new deliverables remain unclear.
The Army granted Anduril control over the troubled Integrated Visual Augmentation System, shifting from Microsoft after ongoing issues and a major reassessment of the project's viability.
While removing Microsoft as the prime contractor, the Army allows it to continue as the cloud provider, indicating a collaboration shift rather than a complete overhaul.
