Kopin to Develop Novel AR Optics for U.S. Army Under New SBIR Contract

Kopin Corporation (NASDAQ: KOPN) a leading provider of
application-specific optical solutions and high-performance
micro-displays for defense, enterprise, consumer and medical
products, today announced it has received a contract from the U.S.
Army to develop novel see-through Augmented Reality (AR) display
optics for dismounted soldier vision system applications.
For over 25 years, the Army has been developing systems that
provide increasingly higher amounts of data to dismounted soldiers
during combat operations to increase situational awareness and
improve combat effectiveness. Beginning with the Land Warrior
program in the late 1990s and evolving through programs such as
Nett Warrior and Thermal Weapon Sight programs, and most recently
with the Integrated Visual Acuity System (IVAS), the data and video
imagery supplied by these solutions have been hampered by optical
viewing approaches that create undesirable “side-effects” such as
visual dissonance and cognitive disorder resulting from the
ergonomics, human factors performance and other technical
shortcomings of these systems. Under this new Army contract, Kopin
will develop novel AR optics to provide an improvement over prior
system approaches, with the goal of increased optical performance,
daylight readability, visual and ergonomic comfort, and nighttime
visibility as well as reductions in weight, size, and power
consumption.
“We believe successful execution of this new Army contract can
fully enable the widespread implementation of new, user-centric
dismounted soldier vision products that soldiers will adopt, and
finally achieve the Army’s goal of fielding a fully digitized day
and night soldier head-mounted visual information system,” said
Bill Maffucci, Kopin’s Senior Vice President of Business
Development and Strategy. “We are very pleased to be selected for
this important development, and we believe Kopin’s unique ability
to not only develop the necessary optics but also to create a
specific microdisplay that is optimized for the application will
allow us to succeed where others have been unable to address the
Army’s needs fully.”
