I'm too lazy to dig up the numbers but I think the Navy+Marine Corps is just about the same as the USAF plus or minus a few. So near term eMagin appears to get half the new helmets and if you include Allies with significant Carrier programs you have the U.K., Australia, Japan, Italy, Brazil, India and then the nations with one like Denmark and Spain that try to keep one in Service I'm sure they would appreciate the upgrade...

Like the article said the Conventional Take-Off and Landing guys would like to able to re-fuel regardless of conditions. I don't know if they want to persist with Kopin in the A Variant for the foreseeable future but half of the Helmets going to eMagin/OLED would be a jolt to K's revenue and prestige and have a salubrious effect on us.  It would steal Kopin's opening line about the "Most sophisticated AR Device in the blah, blah, blah". Question Doc are still taking an F-35 Helmet to CES? Maybe a Consumer version you can sell out of Sky Mall would work.

I think the sole supplier tagline Kopin trundles out is about to end given the info the Air Force Times. Why the was it in the AF Times and not in the Marine Corps Times?

We can't forget the Pilots in the Fighting Falcon and Super Hornet among others in the Squadrons want the good stuff too.
