This article by Jared Keller, writing for Task and Purpose, makes the following points:

• The goggles are the Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) 1.0.
• Soldiers hit fewer targets with IVAS 1.0 on the live-fire range, than with their current equipment.
• User acceptance of IVAS remains low—-and the soldiers aren’t happy about the new goggles.
