Emagin (AMEX:EMA)
Historical Stock Chart
From Dec 2019 to Dec 2024
Sagem Defense Securite has entered into a multi-year
contract with eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA), a leader in OLED (organic
light-emitting diode) microdisplay technology, to provide the
microdisplays for its FELIN program. FELIN is the French Army's
integrated soldier system.
eMagin has already begun production to support this program, which
will require more than 37,000 microdisplays through the life of the
contract. The program schedule calls for Sagem to integrate the
microdisplays over the next 72 months into the lightweight, ergonomic
soldier systems for the active French Army regiments.
FELIN systems will comprise, in part, a modified weapon system,
integral sensors, wearable computer, communications, and display
systems based on eMagin's SVGA+ OLED microdisplay. The main system
integrates a helmet-mounted display that will deliver both imagery
(from a head-mounted night camera) and situational awareness data.
Integrating a display enables operations such as firing around a
corner or "seeing" through obstacles.
"Sagem's adoption of OLED microdisplays for the FELIN program
further validates OLED technology. These microdisplays have become the
choice of the majority of the world's militaries. OLEDs have proven
superior to legacy technologies, providing the lowest power, highest
performance solution for innovative systems like FELIN," said Susan
Jones, executive vice president and chief marketing and strategy
officer, eMagin Corporation. "Power-efficiency and ruggedness make
OLED technology ideal for sophisticated, high performance soldier
systems. eMagin looks forward to supporting Sagem on this important
program."
