Kopin Corporation (NASDAQ:KOPN), a leading provider of application-specific optical systems and high-performance microdisplays for defense, training, enterprise, industrial, consumer and medical products, today announced it has been awarded a $21.5 million follow‑on production contract to manufacture a custom thermal‑imaging eyepiece assembly for a major U.S. defense prime contractor. This award expands Kopin's growing backlog and reinforces the Company's role as a trusted supplier of American‑made, mission‑critical vision systems.

The custom eyepiece module is a critical component of a detachable, man-portable thermal weapon system and is composed of Kopin's U.S.‑manufactured microdisplay, precision optics, drive electronics and ruggedized field‑ready enclosure housing. The assembly enables U.S. warfighters to detect, identify, and engage threats in the harshest environments - day or night.
