Anduril Industries—Anduril took over $22B US Army IVAS augmented reality headset program from Microsoft
In early 2025, Anduril Industries took over the US Army's Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) program from Microsoft, a contract worth up to $22 billion to deliver approximately 120,000 augmented reality headsets to soldiers. The Army approved a legal action in April 2025 that effectively transferred Microsoft's contract to Anduril. This represents one of the largest military technology contracts in history and a major expansion of Anduril's defense portfolio into wearable military technology.
