Kopin Corporation, a developer and provider of high-resolution microdisplays, has received a $1.1 million follow-on production order for an application-specific, long range optical weapon sight module.

The weapon sight module offers a sophisticated video “see through” augmented reality capability that gives soldiers critical information with clear, bright symbology in their weapons sights. It also incorporates CyberDisplay and custom-designed optics, which are said to have been proven as the reliable and high-performing core in more than 250,000 weapon sight systems.

“Kopin continues to be a leader in weapon sight eyepieces for soldiers, and this order is an example of our microdisplays and optical subassemblies being used in the most rugged environments around the world,” said Bill Maffucci, Kopin’s Sr. Vice President of Business Development and Strategy. “This follow-on order is for one of Kopin’s specialized weapon sight eyepieces. We believe the situation in Europe and continued elevated defense spending will provide significant opportunities for follow-on orders.”
