Kopin Corporation has announced a contract update with Lockheed Martin for Phase 2 development of the Visual Display Subsystem (VDS) in the U.S. Army’s Next-Generation Short-Range Interceptor (NGSRI) programme. The contract will fund the build and testing of a high-resolution VDS assembly featuring Kopin’s proprietary OLED microdisplay, drive electronics, and optical designs.

 

These components are intended for integration into the Command Launch Assembly (CLA), a vital part of the NGSRI missile defence system. Under this agreement, Kopin will deliver fully assembled VDS units—referred to as “All-Up Round” assemblies—for a range of simulated and operational test launches.

 

 

“We are very pleased to have received the Phase 2 award for this critical program,” said Bill Maffucci, Kopin’s Senior Vice President of Business Development and Strategy. “We believe Kopin’s high-performance VDS assemblies offers an ideal solution for advanced missile systems and look forward to supporting the continued success of the NGSRI program.”
