eMagin Corporation EMAN, a leader in OLED microdisplays and
virtual imaging technologies, announced today that it has signed a contract
extension with Sagem (Safran group), Paris, France, for the exclusive supply
of OLED Microdisplays for FELIN, Fantassin à Équipement et Liaisons Intégrés
(Integrated Infantryman Equipment and Communications). The original agreement,
signed in 2006, was for supply of OLED microdisplays for the helmet-mounted
display, weapon sights and target designator used in the FELIN system. To
date, more than 17,000 active matrix OLED microdisplays have been delivered
for FELIN, with an approximate 15,000 additional microdisplays to be delivered
during the extended contract period. The contract extension frames a strategic
partnership between Sagem and eMagin making eMagin the exclusive OLED supplier
for FELIN and future Sagem Optronics products through 2017, and providing
Sagem early access to a soon to be announced family of new eMagin OLED
microdisplays.
FELIN is a modular infantry combat suite, offering efficient ergonomics,
autonomy and weight saving. In March 2004, Sagem won the DGA contract to
develop and produce up to 22,500 infantry combat suits, to field with all
French Army active infantry regiments. Fielding began in mid-2010. FELIN
systems comprise a modified weapon system, integral sensors, wearable
computer, communications and display systems, advanced uniform, protection and
headgear. FELIN is deployed in Afghanistan.
