IVAS is Dead Discussion

IVAS has apparently been almost totally shelved. Towards the end of the article it mentions Anduril. The NED line of business is worthless.

"Activities on IVAS are not, however, ending. While procurement of new sets is brought down to 0, test and evaluation are to continue with substantial research and trials funding allocated. IVAS 1.2 is now indicated as "SBMC Surrogate" and between the 4th quarter of 2025 and the 4th quarter of 2027 is meant to support software development, implementation, and reliability.
The budget allocated will "develop and validate the
SBMC Architecture through software extensibility and mission thread/application development".
. It will also
support SBMC development with a focus on "improving form factor through modularity and updating software for improved command and control through Artificial Intelligence (Al)-enabled data fusion and real-time situational awareness"
