Next-generation augmented HUD addresses lack of
augmented reality in analog night vision devices
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 that it has secured
a contract to further the development of its nighttime augmented
reality HUD (Head-Up Display) technology to support warfighters
using night vision devices.
Kopin’s Night HUD is engineered to seamlessly integrate with the
hundreds of thousands of night vision goggles already in use,
providing a cutting-edge solution to meet the growing demand for
advanced Visual Augmentation Systems (VAS) that support tactical
data inputs like the Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK)1. This
next-generation Night HUD is designed to deliver higher resolution
for sharper augmented imagery, improved readability, and a wider
field of view, offering significant enhancements for tactical
operations and boosting operational effectiveness.
"During nighttime operations, warfighters need to remain alert
and maintain focus on the battlespace while avoiding distractions
that could expose their position," said Bill Maffucci, Sr. VP of
Business Development and Strategy. "Kopin’s Night HUD seamlessly
integrates with night vision devices to discreetly display critical
geospatial information, helping warfighters maintain situational
awareness without the risk of hazardous light exposure from
traditional data devices."
Kopin has been developing concepts for nighttime augmented
reality using internal research and development funding and has
demonstrated early prototypes. This contract will support the
creation of an advanced HUD module with enhanced specifications
including higher resolution, a larger field of view, improved
visual acuity, reduced weight, and a slimmer profile. Future
versions are expected to offer full-color nighttime augmented
reality capabilities.
Kopin’s expertise in optical display solutions continues to
drive key contracts like this one. To learn more about the Night
HUD module and other products, visit Kopin’s private suite during
the AUSA event in Washington, D.C., from October 14-16.
