Intevac to Participate in the SPIE DSS 2014 Conference Digtal Night Vision for Rapid Target Acquisition: Winner TBA before June, Intevac makes their case

 eMagin CEO Sculley alluded to this at Needham presentation "shooting around  corners?, yes!"

"Like its predecessor, the new devices will combine thermal imaging and image intensification. However, the ENVG IIIs will also include “rapid target acquisition” technology, which will wirelessly send imagery from the weapon sight to the goggles, allowing the soldier to see both images blended together. 

Without rapid target acquisition, a soldier who sees an adversary in his night vision goggle would have to flip the goggle up in order to look through the weapon sight and view the target, said Jeff Miller, Raytheon’s vice president of combat and sensing systems. “Rapid target acquisition actually puts that image from the sight on the rifle into the goggle, so he can leave his goggle down and fire much more quickly.”

Fielding a rapid target acquisition technology could reduce the time it takes for a soldier to detect and engage a target by 50 percent, the solicitation said. That would enable soldiers to be more lethal and effective, while increasing their ability to quickly operate at night."
