Gen 3 OMNI VI also incorporate the thin-film technology, FYI....

Yes, this is correct. Filmless ( AKA Gen4 ) also came out in Omni V and VI. However, as "recognized" generations go by the US military, Thin Filmed technology is referred to as "Generation 3 Omni VII" - Hence it's own category. You can find out more about the Omni contracts on the discussions panel - there's a new article there. Thanks, David.
