For up to 120,000 headsets.
مایکروسافت قراردادی به ارزش 21.88 میلیارد دلار با ارتش ایالات متحده برای تحویل 120,000 هدست واقعیت افزوده هولولنز امضا کرده است.
این معامله پس از قرارداد قبلی 480 میلیون دلاری در سال 2018 برای توسعه نسخه های اولیه برای ارتش انجام شد. اخبار CNBC reported. The IVAS (Integrated Visual Augmented System) concept used the headset's display to show map and thermal imaging systems, as well as the aim for a weapon.
این توافق مورد انتقاد کارمندان مایکروسافت قرار گرفت نامه سر گشاده, in which staff said they "did not sign up to develop weapons, and we demand a say in how our work is used". These concerns were dismissed by Microsoft boss CEO Satya Nadella, and the contract went ahead.
Today's new deal means Microsoft will work to mass produce the IVAS prototype for widespread US Army usage.
"The IVAS aggregates multiple technologies into an architecture that allows the Soldier to Fight, Rehearse, and Train using a single platform," the US Army wrote in a اطلاعیه مطبوعاتی.
"The suite of capabilities leverages existing high-resolution night, thermal, and Soldier-borne sensors integrated into a unified Heads Up Display to provide the improved situational awareness, target engagement, and informed decision-making necessary to achieve overmatch against current and future adversaries. The system also leverages augmented reality and machine learning to enable a life-like mixed reality training environment so the CCF can rehearse before engaging any adversaries."
