Exelis Night Vision
They report less demand for Legacy Night Vision Goggles but offset by increase in sales of Spiral (eMagin Inside) NVGs. Sales to Italy and an unnamed Middle Eastern country, (my guess, Saudi Arabia) of Individual Soldier System, Spearnet Radio, Jaguar Software and iAware (eMagin Inside) fused NVGs totaled $100 Million in 2013.
2014′s New Panasonic VariCams: Have to Wait for Eugene to tear it down
The EVF is an OLED Microdisplay. Who makes it? Sony and Panasonic have dissolved their OLED TV Partnership. There's that. In addition eMagin CEO Andrew, The Sphinx, Sculley has said over and over that Sony does not sell to others. There's that. More details about the camera to be revealed at the NAB Show in April. Like the cuckolded spouse, we'll be the last to know.

Google Glass Is Doomed : Uh-Oh, Short Battery Life and Heat on the Face among other concerns, subtext, LCOS sucks : But those Forktruck Drivers are gonna need such a device eh? Yup.
5. Battery life. Right now I want to use Glass for journalism. It works pretty well for that, if you watch my Sarah Francis video I filmed on Glass. But when doing video the battery only lasts 45 minutes AND it gets very hot.

Hagel Urges Less Money for U.S. Army, More for Special Forces : eMagin Displays end up in TWS, ENVG, Rangefinders, Thermal Devices of many types for SOF so net plus for the Boyz In Bellevue if
Y.E.T.I. (Yield Enhancement Team Inc) can get their ass in gear.
Hagel, introducing the first annual defense budget request package that takes into account the planned end of combat operations in Afghanistan in December, said the Middle East will remain a focus for the military in the future and that special operations forces, which will be increased by about 4,000 to 69,700, will play continue to play an important role.

http://tbo.com/list/military-news/proposed-defense-cuts-could-have-impact-in-tampa-20140224/
The Cuts Hagel mentioned were from Big Ticket items, looks like post Cold War cuts
manpower most dramatically, A-10 looks to be mothballed, that was an open secret, Ground Combat Vehicle, ditto, nothing about Soldier Mod, these cuts make it incumbent on DOD that they stay ahead in Night Vision and Sensors as the bad guys are working overtime to catch up. Iran inked a deal with Iraq this week to sell them Night Vision Goggles just yesterday. Iran selling Night Vision to a putative ally, sucks. No old PVS-7s lying around anywhere?
At annual symposium, Army focuses on boosting tech
“We believe, absent some changes in science and technology and how we
fight, we are at risk of seeing many of the operational advantages that
we have enjoyed being contested” in the coming decade, said Maj. Gen.
William Hix, deputy director of ARCIC.
Some of the areas in which potential opponents are gaining: night vision, unmanned systems and standoff weapons that would make it more difficult for American forces to enter contested space, or deploy rapidly.

Wearable Computing and Augmented Reality Apps to Drive Transparent Displays Market
No surprise there but where did this report come up with this? Some of the stuff in these Nanomarket Report seem to come way out of Left Field. But it raises all that stuff about Google visiting Samsung, being rebuffed about OLED displays and subsequently Google going with LCOS displays in Google Glass. Sculley brushing off all competitors at Needham except Sony which makes me conjure up all kinds of crazy conspiracies, like why Jerry Carolla's frequent trips to Korea?
" These revenues will be further enhanced by transparent displays for wearables, where Samsung and Google have recently formed an alliance to supply OLED displays for Google Glass."

In The Wheelhouse : RFI For Fused Low SWAP DHMD : Digital Helmet Mounted Display
The DHMD system will potentially consist of imaging optics, sensor,
processing, and displays all mounted directly on to, or integrated into,
an aircrew helmet. Note that this is an extension beyond current HMD
systems in aircraft that are restricted to displaying symbology. Systems
of interest to this RFI are more consistent with digital
implementations of night vision goggles, which will seamlessly integrate
imagery captured over multiple spectral bands and symbology
information. Of particular interest under this RFI is the marriage of
the capabilities of these two systems into one that surpasses the
performance of either in terms of functionality while reducing Size,
Weight, Ergonomics, Power and Integration (SWEPI). As a point of
reference, key technical specifications for fielded night vision goggle
systems as well as the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS) are
provided in Table 1.

Not Every Day An eMagin Customer Get's a Write Up From The BBC, More Good Press
and remarkably, it's free of any whiny hand wringing you might expect from the Beeb. Some good points made by Mr. Quentin i.e.
Army Magazine this month's Feature is "High Tech Answers To A Smaller Force" This weapon will contribute to that trend.
"But while this does not deepen capabilities, it has the potential to broaden them, improving the accuracy of larger numbers of less specialist personnel by enabling the 're-tagging' of a target rather than retaking of a shot."
And he endorses the "Ethical Kill" in a manner of speaking:
"Mr Quentin suggested the demand for such technologies was growing because of a tactical shift away from the use of suppression fire, used to fix an enemy in one position, towards a precision model.
"Precision is required when operating amongst populations, such as Afghanistan, where targets must be positively identified and civilian casualties avoided at all costs," he said.
"In such environments first-time hits and avoidance of collateral damage are paramount - it is not just about what you hit, but who you miss.
"Such systems, therefore, offer the potential to broaden the capability of forces' to deliver accurate fire on positively identified targets, but ultimately they can only be as smart as the personnel that operate them."

Disruptive Tech: Opportunity Or Threat?
This is the case eMagin CEO makes from time to time, perhaps Google Glass and others will be not be embraced by the consumer but it's use is inevitable in the Enterprise and Deloitte seems to agree agree. Forktruck operators start your engines.
"The potential of wearable computing is tremendous, the firm says. Hands-free technology can reshape how work gets done, how decisions are made and how users engage with customers and partners. While consumer wearables are in the spotlight today, the report notes, Deloitte expects business to drive acceptance and “transformative” use cases."

It's Not An EVF It's An LVF : How cute, your DSLR shoots 1080p? Panasonic’s Lumix GH4 does 4K
Panasonic has also added focus peaking to help users who prefer to focus manually (by showing the peak of focus as you adjust). In addition to the 3-inch vari-angle OLED display, the GH4 has a bright OLED viewfinder (Panasonic calls it the Live View Finder, or LVF) that’s incredibly responsive and accurate when we gave it a whirl during a press briefing. As we expected, electronic viewfinders in high-end cameras will become as responsive and useful as their optical counterparts, and the GH4’s didn’t disappoint. The GH4 has a highlight and shadow control function that lets you make those adjustments via live view.

Small Correction In The Record
OLED-Info reported that the eMagin guys said " They HOPE to return to revenue growth in 2014." They actually said "Going forward,
we will continue to strengthen our manufacturing processes until we
reach acceptable yield levels. As a result of these actions, we ANTICIPATE a return to revenue growth in 2014.”
CEO Sculley Dropped A Hint
on the problem we saw in the recent announcement. In the Q3 call he said words to the effect "Large volume orders" (these are the two big NV Contract orders for Raytheon and company unknown) were causing delays over testing requirements which conflates with the PR's "demands for exacting standards" from Defense customers.
Oh, Never Mind, "Put Off by Funds Crunch, Defence Firms Take Flight Out"
Industry sources said US firm Raytheon has already begun re-evaluating its presence in India and its expansion plans may not go through. It would, however, continue to have a liaison office in New Delhi to pursue business. Raytheon has over the years pushed for sale of its Patriot missile defence system, Javelin anti-tank guided missile and Stinger man-portable air defence missile system, but has had no success.
