Kopin Corporation has received a Phase 2 contract update for the U.S. Army's Next-Generation Short-Range Interceptor program, supporting the development of a high-resolution Visual Display Subsystem using Kopin's OLED microdisplay technology. Fully assembled units will be delivered for various test scenarios. The update underscores the ongoing commitment to enhance the capabilities of short-range missile defense systems.
Kopin Corporation (NASDAQ: KOPN), a leading provider of application-specific optical systems and high-performance microdisplays, has received a significant contract update for Phase 2 of the Next-Generation Short-Range Interceptor (NGSRI) Visual Display Subsystem (VDS) from Lockheed Martin. The update, announced on July 31, 2025, underscores Kopin's role in enhancing the capabilities of short-range missile defense systems.
Under the Phase 2 contract, Kopin will deliver fully assembled "All-Up Round" units—VDS assemblies incorporating Kopin's proprietary organic light emitting diode (OLED) microdisplay technology. These units will be used in a variety of simulated and operational missile launch test scenarios, as part of the U.S. Army's NGSRI initiative [1].
Bill Maffucci, Senior Vice President of Business Development and Strategy at Kopin, expressed his pleasure with the contract update, stating, "We believe Kopin’s high-performance VDS assemblies offer an ideal solution for advanced missile systems and look forward to supporting the continued success of the NGSRI program" [1].
The contract update follows a series of recent developments for Kopin, including the start of production deliveries of wearable surgical display systems to Carl Zeiss Meditec and the announcement of the company's CFO retirement [2, 3].
The NGSRI program aims to advance the capabilities of short-range missile defense systems, and Kopin's high-resolution VDS assemblies are expected to play a critical role in this endeavor. The contract update signals Kopin's ongoing commitment to innovation and technological advancement in the defense sector.
