Kopin receives $20.5M contract for thermal weapon sight configuration

Kopin Corporation announced it received an approximate $20.5 million contract for a new weapon sight eyepiece configuration. Under the terms of the contract, Kopin is authorized to procure up to approximately $9 million of materials until the new weapon sight eyepiece configuration is fully qualified at which time the remaining contract balance will become effective, subject to standard government provisions. The new weapon sight eyepiece configuration is scheduled for deliveries in 2024 and 2025. The weapon sight eyepieces, which includes Kopin’s proprietary high-brightness microdisplay and custom-designed Pancake optics, are critical components provided to a Department of Defense prime contractor that integrates the eyepiece into a sophisticated video “see through” augmented reality weapon system
