The Army Acquisition Support Center article (link in the Popular Mechanics article) reports that this is actually a fused night vision and thermal imaging device. So the user is already in a video vs enhanced direct view situation. With advances in CPU technology, adding post-imaging edge enhancement is a logical next step.
With the emphasis on wireless linking, questions arise:
1. Anti-jamming/hacking protections
2. Software update management
3. Electronic signature (emission) management/masking
The wireless employment mirrors current civil-side Bluetooth practice and certainly enhances mobility. However, there may be situations where being physically connected may be necessary/advantageous. Probably not that often, but I hope the developers retained it as a user option.
