First I've heard it is starting with the USAF, PilotVision, eMagin display, (SA Photonics only uses eMagin AMOLED). PilotVision has absorbed the DPA strategy. Our turn. And a Bonus Data Point. Mr. Browne invented the Next-Gen Apache Eyepiece. Also eMagin display. This addresses what you were trying to get out of the guys MW.

PilotVision started as a low-cost HMD for Air Force transport pilots. “The Air Force said, ‘If you’re going to take our money, we would like you to look at commercializing the technology,” Browne explained. The objective is to scale up production so that per-unit costs go down, saving money for civilian purchasers and for the Air Force. The first production units will go to the Air Force in March, with consumer units becoming available during the summer of 2020. “Initially the price is going to be fairly high—about $10,000,” he said. “But the price will come down as production goes up. That’s what the Air Force wants.”
