In addition to production order, customer additionally authorized $5.3 million materials procurement for anticipated future production contract

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 received an order valued at $14 million to supply custom thermal imaging assemblies from a leading defense prime contractor. In addition to the thermal imaging assembly order, the customer has authorized Kopin to purchase $5.3 million in materials for an anticipated future order.

The eyepiece assembly is part of a detachable weapon system that enables warfighters to acquire targets in hostile conditions—day or night, and even through smoke or fog—dramatically boosting their ”stand-off advantage” and combat effectiveness on the battlefield. This eyepiece assembly integrates Kopin’s proprietary display, optic, electronic and housing technologies in a robust assembly.

“This purchase order is a part of a multi-year full-scale production program, showcasing Kopin’s expertise in the design and production of advanced high resolution microdisplays, optics, drive electronics and ruggedized housings for weapon sights and other mission critical applications,” said Bill Maffucci, Senior Vice President, Business Development and Strategy. “Kopin’s solider system solutions help to improve warfighters’ situational awareness with vision systems that enable our women and men in the armed forces to maintain a combat advantage.

“Our proven track record of delivering over 400,000 mission critical solutions across several generations of defense programs has been reaffirmed by this order. We look forward to continuing our collaboration on this program and other vital projects,” said Maffucci.
