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 secured a new $3.6 million purchase order for an advanced avionic helmet‑mounted display (“HMD”) system to be integrated into a rotary‑wing military aircraft platform for a European defense customer.

The HMD system will serve as a critical component of the aircraft’s pilot interface, delivering flight symbology, navigation cues, aircraft status, and weapon‑system information directly into the pilot’s line of sight. By projecting essential data onto a high‑brightness, high‑clarity display, the system enhances situational awareness, reduces cockpit workload, and supports safer, more efficient mission execution in demanding operational environments.

Deliveries under this multi‑year award will occur over a five‑year period beginning in 2026, reflecting the long‑term production and sustainment needs of the platform.

This new order further strengthens Kopin’s position as a trusted supplier of mission‑ready display technologies for global aviation programs. With this award, Kopin’s current order book for pilot helmet‑mounted display applications alone now exceeds $10 million, underscoring growing demand for advanced, domestically engineered display solutions that meet the evolving needs of modern aircrews.

“Kopin’s display technologies continue to play a vital role in next‑generation aviation systems,” said Iwan Dodd, SVP of Business Development. “Our commitment to delivering rugged, high‑performance solutions ensures pilots have the information they need - precisely when and where they need it. As mission demands grow more complex, we remain focused on providing reliable, U.S.‑engineered display systems that enhance safety, situational awareness, and operational effectiveness for aircrews around the world.”
