CTRL + F for “weight” returns one instance. Unfortunate, because that is the other thing that actually keeps these things from being truly viable in dismounted operations. You could solve all of the other problems with getting an augmented reality system to work in a combat environment, but if it’s too heavy no one cares. The VP mentioned in the article is a SOF bro so presumably he’s thinking about this, but I really wish it got more air time. Weight is such an important planning aspect that it’s difficult to overstate how impactful it is when deciding what you actually end up carrying.
