The Program already has lots of tendrils. SiOnyx, Intevac, SRI, Microsoft, IMO, Elbit with Ironvision with be the system for Armor. "In discussions with" means that everybody, at some point, will coordinate with everybody. It all goes through the Cross Functional Team in Austin and the Program Executive Office at Ft. Belvoir (where all ENVG was tested and demoed). As Jeff said "keep asking questions" as details unfold. For example, the Thermal capability will be integrated in the Fall so...who is the contributor there? I was surprised as to how frank they were in this discussion. My sense of "discussions with them" doesn't necessarily exclude Microsoft as a manufacturing partner but means they are all cobbling together a solution. AS said "all of them" in terms of any US Gov Program with the DPA Award. That is something you can hang your hat on.
