I don't know if they are talking about the Remote Viewer here or not. And it's probably too soon for Q-Warrior. Anyway BAE is looking for something to pitch for 2014. We wish them well. Little obscure, regardless we will be sure to tell Sneider at Kopin that it's WIRELESS.
"Going Wireless. BAE Systems is almost done delivering its
Helmet-Mounted Display to the Army and is beginning to look at a
second-generation product to pitch to the service next year. The company
delivered almost 15,000 displays, which plug into the sights on heavy
weapons and then clip onto soldiers’ helmets, allowing them to view
thermal imaging or other displays without being hit by recoiling
weapons, says Dave Smialek, BAE’s manager of business development for
soldier and vehicle solutions. Once the company delivers the remaining
2,000 or so units, it will begin to focus on a second-generation
product, which will feature a wireless connection between the
helmet-mounted display and the weapons sights, as well as trying to
reduce size, weight and power. Smialek says he expects the Army will put
out a request for information in mid-2014, and BAE hopes to have its
upgraded offering ready by then."
