Kopin Corporation announced a $3.6 million purchase order for an advanced helmet‑mounted display (HMD) system that will be integrated into a European rotary‑wing military aircraft. The award is a multi‑year contract that will begin deliveries in 2026 and span five years, adding a long‑term revenue stream to the company’s defense portfolio.
The new order is part of Kopin’s broader strategy to become a leading integrated solutions provider for defense applications. It complements the company’s recent partnership with Theon International, which is focused on co‑developing military‑grade displays and color MicroLED products. Together, these initiatives reinforce Kopin’s expanding footprint in the European defense market and strengthen its order book, which already exceeds $10 million for pilot HMD applications.
Kopin’s financial performance underscores the significance of the contract. The company reported 2024 revenue of $50.3 million, a 24.6% increase from the prior year, and is guiding 2025 revenue at $52–$55 million. The $3.6 million order contributes to that growth trajectory and provides a predictable, multi‑year cash flow that supports the company’s expansion plans.
The contract highlights the growing demand for high‑performance HMDs in rotary‑wing platforms, where real‑time tactical and sensor data are critical for mission effectiveness. By securing this order, Kopin demonstrates that European defense customers trust its technology to deliver rugged, high‑performance solutions that keep pilots informed in the field.
Iwan Dodd, Senior Vice President of Business Development, said the company’s commitment to rugged, high‑performance solutions ensures pilots have the information they need precisely when and where they need it. The order underscores Kopin’s ability to deliver on that promise and reinforces its position as a trusted partner in the defense sector.
