I've seen pictures of US military aircraft using devices such as Sentry to feed EFBs with ADSB data, but have no idea if that's widespread throughout the services or indeed was in use during this accident. However, what I do know is that it would be very unlikely that either helo pilot would have the capacity to scan down onto a knee-mounted EFB while flying VFR over a dark river on NVG at 200 feet (and in the non-handling pilot's case, monitoring the handling pilot's height and talking her down). Integration of an audio warning from the EFB to the intercom system would be needed to draw attention to conflictions, and I very much doubt that would have been implemented. Remember, they thought they had the traffic in sight, so there was nothing pressing them to check for other traffic given they were in (supposedly) fully-controlled Class B.
