The Department of the Army has awarded Kopin Targeting Corporation, a small business manufacturer specializing in wearable optical and display technologies, a $2.0M firm fixed-price Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract (W51701-24-C-0182) to develop an Off-the-Visor Heads Up Display (HUD) system. The contract, awarded on April 28, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of October 28, 2026, represents a continuation of the company's Phase I research efforts in advanced visual display systems for military applications. This contract is designated as a set-aside for small businesses, reflecting the Department of Defense's commitment to fostering innovation within the small business community for critical defense technologies.
Kopin Targeting Corporation will perform the work at its facility in Westborough, Massachusetts. The company brings substantial expertise in optical and display component manufacturing, leveraging its parent company Kopin Corp's advanced capabilities while maintaining its own track record of delivering innovative solutions to defense agencies. As a prime contractor, the company has previously secured SBIR Phase I awards from both the Department of the Army and Office of Naval Research, and has supported major defense primes including Rockwell Collins through subcontract work on helmet-mounted displays and specialized display components. This Phase II award enables the company to advance the Off-the-Visor HUD technology toward commercial application and production readiness.
