My pleasure - More DD here ... so hence the note on the helmets for “F-35 Jets” & the new helmet design coming out here (snippet from call).... Now “US Army Helicopter Upgrade Program” ,... hmmm

Mentioned in the article ....this is for Boeing’s Apache Attack AH-64 .... for which the MANUFACTURER is “HUGHES AIRCRAFT” — so now let’s find some breadcrumbs on that folks.....

“We had several notable highlights in the military end market during the quarter. For the military display sales, we ship product under both the enhanced night vision goggles binocular program, as well as the F-35 helmet mounted display system. In addition, we recently completed the improved design of the backplane wafer for the next generation F-35 HMD systems and expect to begin shipping displays with this design later this year.

We received an order for a custom display assembly for a major U.S. Army helicopter upgrade program where we are replacing another display. Deliveries for this program are expected to begin by fourth quarter and run until 2022. We also finalized the design of a new custom display for a new U.S. helicopter helmet program and had delivered the prototypes. This is expected to be a multi-year program with the first displays shipped in Q2.

Finally, we received an order for a European military customer for high brightness displays to be used in fire control system for a shoulder fired weapon. The deliveries under this program started in March and will continue through 2022. We believe that we have a competitive advantage with our U.S. based design and manufacturing, including our in-house backplane design, our continuously improving high brightness monochrome and full color displays, and our next generation full color dPd technology.”
