Rudimentary, back of the envelope, guesstimate on the ENVG III FWS

65,000 total systems reflects present day SOF numbers. Hagel set to grow Spec Forces to around 70,000 as reflected in 2015 Budget he submitted to Congress. This could account for the rumor, there's that word again, that when all is said and done FWS will exceed $1 Billion if SOF continues it's YOY growth. Each FWS, monocle and sight should run about $350 per display, Guesstimate $12,500 per System. So $700 per system for the OLED displays.  $700 x 70,000 over the 5 Years of the contract as presently constituted = $49,000,000 = roughly $10,000,000 per year if spread evenly over the life of the contract.  So that's the DRS/BAE portion of the triumvirate that were involved in the stop shipment orders, who is the third and how big is there program? ENVG II runs thru the end of Fiscal 2016 so that program eMagin continues to supply.
