Army Microsoft Combat Goggle Test ‘Adequate,’ Pentagon Says

Three weeks of tests were enough to determine if Microsoft Corp.’s new combat goggle will be more effective than the model it’s intended to replace, and senior leaders will get early results by the end of the month, the Pentagon said.

The testing that ended June 18 was “adequate to support an assessment of operational effectiveness, user acceptance, suitability, and cyber and electronic warfare vulnerabilities” of the goggles, Jessica Maxwell, spokeswoman for the Penta gon’s test office, said in a statement.

The test office expects to give Army leadership preliminary results by the end of August, with a final report going to Congress in October, Maxwell said. Microsoft won’t be given access to the draft report for comment, she said.

In Milley's woke military, our troops deserve the very most ADEQUATE money can buy?  That should make Americans feel safer. :thud:

Not to worry, our CIC has been a political pariah for nearly 50 years and knows what to do with the military. tri22
