KIller Robots with Javelin Missiles, Dragonfish Armor, Bots Controlled By HMDs, Be Still My Heart

"The demonstration at Fort Benning required robots to accurately shoot a heavy M240 machine gun at ranges of up to 800m.
Other weapons fired by the semi-intelligent machines included a grenade launcher and even a Javelin fire-and-forget anti-tank missile."

The Javelin reference does not accrue to eMagin's benefit. Javelin is finding itself in new launch platforms like the Centurion Chemring for Maritime applications, the Chemring is like a giant revolver that can be armed with different missiles designed to deploy in waves for maximum effectiveness. It is in the process of being tested for use in CROWS for Stryker,i.e. mounted on an Armored Vehicle. And of course it's use by Dismounted Soldiers will continue to grow which will accrue to eMagin's benefit.
