Congress puts brakes on buying more Microsoft combat goggles

The upgraded battle goggles will address test findings from last year when 70 troops wore the present type throughout three 72-hour combat scenarios. According to the findings, the troops had “headaches, eyestrain, and nausea,” and the system had too many “failures of vital tasks.” Furthermore, more than 80% of troops who reported pain did so during the first three hours of the 72-hour test.
