Soldiers' situational awareness improved using micro-displays, augmented reality (David Fellowes is the co-inventor of the Army's & eMagin multi-varied display)and the guys says "hey can have I some of those for my Apaches?" "No problemo"

but you can't say the "e" word can you NDA quote? Wasn'tFellowes the presenter from Rockwell at that session in Virginia on Waveguides?____________________________________________


"If you've ever tried looking at your cellphone on a sunny day, it's really hard," he said. The increase in display brightness was such that Soldiers would now be able to see the tiny micro-display in sunlight.

Although the technology was being developed for dismounted Soldiers, other program managers took notice, he said. For example the program manager responsible for Apache helicopters wanted their pilots to have them for head-mounted displays. They are not yet fielded for the Apaches, but a contract for them has already been signed. Other program managers wanted them for night vision goggles and even for weapons sights, he added.

The next step, he said, was to develop an extremely high resolution, 2048-by-2048-pixel display in full color. That advancement came to fruition recently, and some of them were on display.
