Kopin awarded $1.5M follow-on contract for thermal imaging vision system

Kopin announced it has been awarded a follow-on contract to supply a near eye, thermal imaging vision system, designed to fit inside of a firefighter mask. The cutting-edge firefighting mask dramatically enhances the firefighter’s effectiveness in operating in smoke-filled buildings and saving potential victims. The mask includes a Kopin thermal imaging vision system composed of a miniaturized AMLCD or active-matrix liquid crystal display, and optics, integrated into the mask’s facepiece. A firefighter looks at Kopin’s display inside the mask, which is connected to a small thermal camera mounted to the side of the mask, enabling the firefighter to operate the display system hands-free and view clear, real-time video of thermal imagery in their line of view, unaffected by environmental conditions, such as smoke…Deliveries of Kopin’s thermal imaging vision system, in support of the $1.5 million follow-on contract, are planned throughout the 2025 calendar year
