However, given the small initial volumes, the cost of standing up and qualifying to production lines appears to be prohibitive.

Looking ahead, we believe the funding of the two recent Phase 1 IVAS development programs are evidence that improved night-vision performance is desired for the IVAS program. To reiterate from the last quarters’ call, Phase 1 awards are to take the project into the detailed design phase for down selection of the complete program execution phase."
