Big eMagin Customer Acquires Medium Sized eMagin Customer :Intelligent Decisions Acquires Fully Integrated Virtual Simulation and Training Platform Leading Provider of Simulation & Training Systems will Debut New Asset at Eurosatory

Quantum3D's business has been foundering a bit as ID has for the most part captured the domestic market and driven Quantum3D to pitching largely Asian Militaries in recent months so this acquisition is no surprise. Both companies use ruggedized eMagin Z800s and no doubt will buy the Digital version when eMagin makes it available. This sector, Training and Simulation, is #1 buyer of Head Mounted Displays and ID is expanding globally. The downside for me is the need for an ever increasing militarization of Law Enforcement from MRAPS to Combat training. I think Mayberry even has a SWAT Team now and Deputy Fife not only has "a bullet" but has qualified with a Sig Sauer 226 and has a pet Malinois named "Otis."

ASHBURN, Va., Jun 16, 2014 (BUSINESS WIRE) --Intelligent Decisions , Inc., a premier global IT systems integrator, today announced the acquisition of rights, assets and intellectual property related to Quantum3D’s ExpeditionDI product line. Used in the original development of Intelligent Decisions’ highly successful Dismounted Soldier Training System (DSTS), ExpeditionDI is a man-worn, fully immersive, team simulation solution for infantry simulation and training. Its open architecture platform for integrating simulation and game software enhances the capabilities of the DSTS and allows Intelligent Decisions to offer the U.S. Army a true end-to-end tactical training solution for dismounted personnel.
“Procuring the ExpeditionDI platform allows Intelligent Decisions to offer our customers a more comprehensive and immersive training capability by coupling our industry leading simulation solution with a mobile, fully integrated and highly advanced platform for full fidelity infantry simulation and training. This acquisition will also allow Intelligent Decisions the flexibility to rapidly expand field solutions tailored to other military branches and law enforcement agencies,” said Harry Martin, president and CEO, Intelligent Decisions.
As a completely self-contained and Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) system, ExpeditionDI combines cost-effective training that is deployable anywhere with an unmatched level of realism that leads to more effective instruction. Further, the acquisition puts the company in the unique position to meet the demands of a global market that requires man-wearable systems to be compact, maneuverable and fully integrated.
“Intelligent Decisions is eager to work with worldwide distribution partners like Antycip Simulation to deliver customers in Europe and around the world virtual simulation solutions that are seamlessly deployed and fully compliant with the requirements of the market,” added Martin. “ExpeditionDI satisfies these requirements by affording customers a solution that is not only powerful, flexible and highly immersive, but also fully integrated, compact, rugged and highly mobile.”
Intelligent Decisions will reveal this new asset to the public for the first time while participating at Eurosatory in Paris, France June 16 – 20, 2014.
