This smells like a way to funnel money to someone. There's no way a small number of "Smart Glasses" will be cheap, and the warlord(s) in charge can spec it in ways to increase costs, funnelling even more money to that someone. Classic US grifting from the government, in my judgement. We should find out who made this decision, and it will be interesting to see who gets the contract(s) for it. As we've seen with DoD acquisition, even a failed program can keep the money spigot open for years, too.
