Kopin Corporation (NASDAQ:KOPN), a leading provider of application-specific optical systems and high-performance microdisplays for defense, training, enterprise, industrial, consumer, medical markets, and high-speed optical interconnects for AI infrastructure, today announced that it will introduce two new advanced soldier vision technologies at SOF Week 2026 in Tampa, Florida — the premier gathering where special operations leaders, operators, and innovators converge to shape the future of mission-critical technology.

Throughout the event, Kopin will present hands-on demonstrations of its latest soldier-focused vision systems and optical platforms engineered to enhance our warfighters' situational awareness, survivability, and operational effectiveness in the most demanding environments.

"SOF Week brings together the community that defines the future of modern warfare," said Nicolas Peterson, Warfighter Vision, Kopin. "We're proud to showcase several new products and technologies that are purpose-built to support the mission and give operators the visual advantage they need in the field."

Featured New Products and Technologies

Kopin's demonstrations will highlight several next-generation systems, including:

Sentinel FPV™ — First person viewer goggle that offers high-definition drone imagery to warfighters while keeping their local situational awareness intact.
DarkWAVE™ — Full-color augmented reality night vision clip-in that brings full-color AR capability to existing fielded night-vision goggles.
DayVAS™ — Daylight-readable augmented-reality system designed for high-brightness, high-clarity visualization in full sun.
MicroLED Display — Military-grade, ultra-bright, power-efficient microdisplay optimized for rugged defense applications and made in the USA.

Kopin's presence at SOF Week underscores the company's commitment to delivering U.S.-designed and U.S.-manufactured displays and optical products that meet the evolving needs of special operations forces.
