azsarge, naw, they have the same problem as standard flat panel screens, in that they are only really viewable from one angle, they fade out after that, and its a problem inherent in the base design that all the modifications are holding too. the active camo programs are working on different styles of emmiters, including an interesting one in which a group of individuals carry uniform worn emitters that project onto team mates, allowing a group to cover each other, helping in the angles problem. Also, interesting to hear you say that about funding. as clinton pushed through the largest increase in r and d dollars, whereas President Bush (see, i remembered the capital b this time) has created a nearly negligible increase in r and d dollars, and in fact NO increase in r and d, not even for inflation, until this latest budget.
