Super Combat Goggles for Tank Commander Use?

The Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) has produced excellent information in its website The Strategist dated September 23, 2022, including:

-  “Despite progress, major challenges lie ahead for AUKUS”

and

-  “The Five Domains Update” This includes mention of US and UK nuclear submarine training of Australians under AUKUS, other issues and the following:

"The US Army is rolling out new combat goggles with an integrated visual augmentation system, or IVAS, to its soldiers in a 10-year investment estimated to cost US$21.8 billion ($32.9 billion). IVASs will provide hologram projections over soldiers’ fields of view and allow them to visualise critical data including maps and enemy and ally positions. They are also capable of picking up feeds from local devices, enabling them to ‘see’ through the inside of vehicles. The army’s move into the so-called metaverse with IVAS technology could be revolutionary for infantry battlefield operations."

"Super" combat goggles with many capabilities, including “see through” function, have been extremely high priced items for pilots of US built stealth fighters, including F-35 helmet-mounted display systems (HMDS).

If money is available commanders of US made tanks including Australian M1A2 Abrams might, one day, benefit.

Who knows, Australian Special Forces and then even regular infantry might receive such super goggles - if they can be built cheaply enough.
