eMagin

At 1Q 2020 CC on May 14,2020 eMagin announced a new US helicopter program (the current one is Apache) -

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.

U.S. Army Awards Elbit Systems of America Contract for Common Helmet Mounted Display

FORT WORTH, Texas, March 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Elbit Systems of America, LLC, (NASDAQ: ESLT) (TASE: ESLT), was recently awarded a five-year Indefinite Delivery/ Indefinite Quantity contract by the United States Army to provide a wide field of view Common Helmet Mounted Display (CHMD) system. Work will be performed in Fort Worth, Texas, with deliveries starting within 15 months.

This full color CHMD will be part of the U.S. Army's Air Soldier System, used by helicopter flight crews to provide day and night enhanced situational awareness and survivability in all flight conditions. It will be fully-integrated into the Elbit Systems' Helmet Display and Tracker System used onboard the U.S. Army's CH-47F Chinook and the UH-60L/M/V Black Hawk fleets.

Timelines match .

Elbit "deliveries starting within 15 months" from March 5 2019 would put the last starting delivery date as June 5, 2020 .

eMagin's "first displays shipped in Q2" (past tense) as announced on May 14, 2020. So between April 1 & May 15, 2020 .

Both are multiyear -

Elbit -" five-year Indefinite Delivery/ Indefinite Quantity contract"

eMagin - "This is expected to be a multi-year program"

Future - Elbit X-Sight

Bringing F-35 Technology to the Rotorcraft World

Defense-Update had the opportunity to test Elbit Systems’ brand new X-Sight helmet display system at the company’s closed exhibit at the Paris Airshow. X-Sight brings the F-35 display, and image fusion technology to cockpits of future helicopters, such as Future Attack & Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA) and Future Vertical Lift (FVL), both families are expected to appear in the US and European market in the next decade.

General Comments

From the DD that has been made available on $EMAN over the last couple of weeks and beyond we know that the company's tecnology has MULTIPLE applications, and they have indicated in their May 14th Conference Call that they are NOT looking for a specific partner and instead they are focusing on rolling out their NEW LINE OF DISPLAYS and fulfilling EXISTING contracts with military manufacturers and a "mystery" "TIER 1" client that has been the topic of MUCH conjecture/rumour, particularly on manufacturers in the VR sector. There has been some SOLID dot-connecting done by iHubbers, Redditors, Twitter users, etc., which has generated a lot of attention for $EMAN but has also brought SOME out of the woodwork with all sorts of predictions on $EMAN and what it will or will not become, or whether it will be engaging in some sort of partnership/M&A activity with a firm.

Rumours Aside / What We Know:
Q1 Results & May 14th CC told investors quite clearly that $EMAN has IMPRESSIVE operations as an independent operator and an ESSENTIAL BUSINESS during the Coronavirus Pandemic, meaning that $EMAN's operations will continue to be robust during this strange time. Moreover, $EMAN's manufacturing is based in the UNITED STATES so they are ahead of the curve in terms of "nationalising" operations, so they are well-positioned for the "COVID" and "post-COVID" world.

AUGMENTED REALITY / VIRTUAL REALITY

$EMAN mentioned here by NVIDIA, who will use their tech for a VR headset (July 2019): https://research.nvidia.com/sites/default/files/pubs/2019-07_Foveated-AR%3A-Dynamically-Foveated//Foveated_AR___v2%20%2815%29.pdf

"As described in Sec. 4.1.1, three customized ICs (manufactured by ILLUCO) were used in the optical bench prototype. We used the eMagin (WUXGA LUT) micro OLED for the foveal display. Each 18.7×11.75 mm, 3 g micro display has 1920×1200 24-bit color pixels at >1000 cd/m2 brightness. Overall transparency was 50% and the final brightness of the foveal display was around 70 nits. Our peripheral display is powered by the Celluon 1280×720 laser projector (PicoBit), with a 10 mm diameter 75 mm focal length plano-convex lens (Edmund Optics 84-281) for beam shaping. A full-color HOE film was recorded with our custom recording setup (see Supplementary B.1). To maximize the efficiency of all three wavelengths, we stacked three HOEs ( Supplementary B.3). Two perpendicular linear polarizers were used in front of the laser projector to match the brightness of the peripheral display to that of foveal display. In the optical bench prototype, the micro OLED travels horizontally and axially via two high-speed motorized linear stages (DDSM50) from Thorlabs, Inc.

"Wearable prototype. The wearable prototype consists of a modular, 3D printed frame that houses and aligns all of the optical/mechanical components used in the system (see Supplementary C) including a compact laser projector (MEGA1, MEGA1-F1), a beam shaping lens (Edmund Optics, 84-281), a right angle prism (Thorlabs, PS908), a micro OLED (eMagin, WUXGA LUT), optical front-end (combiners and half mirrors for the fovea and peripheral optical path), and the motion stage used to translate the foveal and peripheral displays in relation to each other. The basic optical structure of the wearable prototype is identical to the benchtop prototype, but it uses a smaller projector and the folded optical path for periphery. Note that the HOE was delaminated from the glass substrate to minimize the form factor and weight. The micro OLED display driver is located remotely and relayed to the display using a 5-feet cable provided by the manufacturer"
