Microsoft signed to make 120k helmets for $22 billion, and if you do the math it comes to $188k per helmet!

And humans are getting more obsolete in wars. Like, did you watch "Jarhead"?

You said it yourself - finally, soldiers will be able to see those terrorists. If you leverage $188K against the cost of mistaking a farm village for a terrorist training camp, the price tag seems well worth it.
