Possible the M25 cuts affect eMagin, doubt the Win-T has any impact at all. No mention of cuts to Future Weapons Sight or Enhanced Night Vision so print some more money and buy some more stuff. The two below are the only Soldier Mod Programs cut.
* Cuts $58.1 million in procurement for the XM25, Counter
Defilade Target Engagement (CDTE) for continued live-fire testing of
system reliability and munitions performance.
Technically it's not the ATK XM25 anymore as the "Experimental" has been dropped as it fully qualified for service but one munition misfire recently and the whole program is yanked from the field. ATK is a small company and does not have a significant presence on K Street. This weapons has an L-3 Brashear Sight.
And they scaled back to pace of growth for Win-T:
* Cuts $37.0 million in research and development for the
Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T) demonstration and
evaluation for excess program growth.
Not a whole lot of meat cut out of a program budgeted for $1.8 Billion. Wait for specifics.
