Remarks, Ashton Carter, United States Deputy Secretary of Defense

The Next Gen Javelin deal looks like a sure thing as Undersecretary Carter has positioned it as the centerpiece of new era US-India cooperation on Defense matters, strategy and hardware. Apparently they have a green light as resellers too when the new Javelin System is launched (pun intended). The Command Launch Unit's sight uses an eMagin Display. Next GEN will have to have WUXGA.

"And so, in the United States, with U.S. industry, and with my Under Secretary for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, Frank Kendall, as the job I used to have and really superb at it, we identified and put forward to the Indians truly groundbreaking, entirely new collaborative proposal to co-develop with India a next-generation Javelin antitank capability. This is a new twist on a very old dog in U.S.-Indian relations. This proposal would address a key military requirement for both our armies and is an unprecedented offer that we've made unique to India, so we're pretty enthusiastic about it."
