< P > Soldiers who tested the first versions of IVAS reported problems such as mocking, dizziness and nausea. These failures led to numerous recycles, dividing the program into three versions: IVAS 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2. Last version, ivas 1.2, was aimed at solving previous problems using a new hinged flat structure that provides a 60 degree view.

Results of operational tests of IVAS 1.2 are reported to be published in the period from April to June, which will help determine whether to refuse production, start limited issue or undertake more purchases.
