Kopin (NASDAQ: KOPN) has secured a significant U.S. Army contract for a Soldier Display Trade Study focused on MicroLED technology for Extended Reality (XR) applications. The study aims to define optimal MicroLED characteristics for military heads-up displays (HUDs), emphasizing daytime-readable, ultra-bright displays with enhanced energy efficiency.
The project will culminate in a 'Microdisplay Requirements and Performance Matrix' that will set standards for next-generation soldier vision systems. These systems include head-mounted see-through displays, handheld devices, platform-mounted systems, and advanced weapon sights like the Next Gen Squad Weapon Fire Control.
MicroLED technology offers key advantages including superior brightness, power efficiency, long operating lifetimes, and elimination of temporal artifacts associated with Laser Based Scanning, while reducing nausea and discomfort in extended use scenarios.
Kopin (NASDAQ: KOPN) has secured a new $7.5 million multi-year contract to supply microdisplays for pilot Helmet Mounted Display Systems with augmented reality (AR) capabilities. This contract, combined with previous orders of $6 million in 2025, brings the total to $13.5 million year-to-date for pilot helmet displays.
The customer is a Tier 1 Department of Defense (DoD) prime contractor and leading aerospace/defense solutions provider. The microdisplays will be manufactured in Kopin's Class 10 cleanroom facility in the USA, with each display undergoing rigorous testing and quality control measures.
The AR-enabled helmet systems provide pilots with critical mission information and enhanced situational awareness, allowing seamless interaction with aircraft systems in high-stress situations.
Kopin (KOPN) reported strong financial results for Q4 and full year 2024, with annual revenue increasing 24.6% to $50.3 million compared to 2023. Q4 revenue grew 71% year-over-year to $14.6 million.
The company's product revenues for 2024 reached $43.6 million, driven primarily by increased shipments of thermal weapon sight applications. Product gross margin improved due to higher unit volumes and better fixed cost absorption. The company recorded record bookings of $46 million in 2024.
Despite a net loss of $43.9 million for 2024, Kopin maintains a strong cash position of $36.6 million. Looking ahead, the company expects 2025 revenue between $52-55 million, supported by a strong order book.
