Microsoft making helmets for soldiers

Microsoft has won a Pentagon contract for augmented reality headgear for soldiers worth $21.88 billion over the next decade, the company and the U.S. military announced on March 31.

The award aims "to deliver next-generation night vision and situational awareness capabilities to the Close Combat Force at the speed of relevance," the Pentagon said.

A head-mounted display used by soldiers for battle and training employs sensors for night and thermal vision in addition to providing data for help in engaging targets and making tactical decisions, officials said.

"The program delivers enhanced situational awareness, enabling information sharing and decision-making in a variety of scenarios," Kipman said in a blog post.

Finally, the soldiers will be able to see those terrorists.

But seriously, $22 billion for helmets, that's the money that the Manhattan Project cost.

It seems wars are getting too expensive.

But does it come with minesweeper? That's the real question.
