Re: GAO Report June 2020 - IVAS - Color Waveguide Display Module - "immature"Some are suggesting that it was a HL1 Color Waveguide Display Module identified as "immature" and not HL2 . I have provided the timeline so you can make your own assessment . September 7, 2018 - White Papers Due Each white paper shall include the following: Introduction (1 page) Data Rights (no page limit) Non-Traditional Defense Contractor & Level of Participation (2 pages) Contractor Responsibility (no page limit) Summary (1 page) White papers are due no later than 11:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time on 07 September 2018. DEMONSTRATION - SECTION 5 - BASIS OF EVALUATION OF WHITE PAPER TO SELECT OFFEROR(S) TO RECEIVE UPWARD INVITATION FOR DEMONSTRATION 6.3 Product Demonstration Live, hands-on demonstration(s) using functional hardware and software are required. The Product Demonstration of hardware & software shall include (to the maximum extent possible): 1. Five (5) Commercial/prototype Heads-Up Display (HUD) products that demonstrate mixed reality software; Nov 28 , 2018 - MSFT awarded bid January 2019 - OUSD (R&E) concluded Color Waveguide Display Module "immature" In contrast, OUSD (R&E) concluded in January 2019 that technology risk is high for IVAS and identified the Color Waveguide Display Module as immature. Specifically, it reported the display module did not have the required contrast or field of view for daytime use. In addition, the display module needs reduced light emissions to ensure light security for night operation. While program officials disagreed with the overall conclusion that technology risk is high for IVAS, they are aware of the Color Waveguide Display Module risks and plan mitigation activities. March 2019 - STP1 with CS1 demonstrated with HL2 - Hard for me to believe they would submit HL1 specs and/or demo HL1 prototype as per white paper in Sept then produce HL2 in March but you can believe what you want . Also hard to believe that the Military wouldn't be able to get their hands on a HL2 for evaluation prior to Commercial product introduction as some are implying especially in light of the fact that MSFT was supposedly developing for IVAS as part of the 2017 contract - Let's assume a few things before I get started..
