Dismounted Soldier Systems

In the battlespace, having the information to act quickly and accurately is critical. Our vision systems improve situational awareness to achieve overmatch in any engagement.

Weapon sights, soldier vision systems, and target locators provide soldiers with a range advantage over adversaries. They get real-time, high-resolution, actionable intelligence in harsh conditions for faster decision making.

Designed for the Warfighter

Ruggedized Systems

Durable, ruggedized component housing is specially built to perform even in the harshest environments.

Compact Performance

Our systems are designed with low power consumption and lightweight optics, so they are easy for soldiers to carry in the field.

Optimized Optics

We use human factors to drive our designs to produce high-performance, compact, and lightweight optics.

Weapon Sights

Our eyepiece assemblies work together with weapon sight sensors to provide clear, accurate imagery to the warfighter. 

Kopin’s custom-designed optics enable thinner, lighter, sharper displays that are both rugged and lightweight. Our eyepiece assemblies are designed to perform in high temperatures and humidity and withstand weapon shock and vibration. With over 300,000 fielded weapon sights, our eyepiece assemblies are proven on multiple key U.S. and international weapon sight programs.

Soldier Vision

Place critical mission data right in front of each soldier’s eyes, without causing dizziness or distorted vision. 

Our systems enhance warfighter vision and situational awareness, presenting integrated sensor data and critical mission information. We have experience designing weapon sights and pilot displays that perform in day or night, plus mixed reality and see-through VR/AR systems for training and simulation and combat environments. We are constantly pushing the limits of brightness, low power, thinness, and weight to provide the best solutions for the warfighter.

Target Locators

Enable forward observers, scouts, snipers, and platoon leaders to accurately locate and transmit target data.

Our rugged, low power, and high brightness optical assemblies pair with multi-spectral imaging technology that help warfighters acquire and engage targets in all conditions. Our soldier-centric designs and eye-safe optics enable systems to be lighter for improved warfighter mobility.

First Person Viewers (FPV)

Extend the warfighter’s vision beyond line of sight without sacrificing awareness of the surrounding environment.

Designed for demanding operational environments, our FPV vision solutions deliver high-definition drone imagery while preserving the operator’s awareness of their immediate surroundings through Dual Situational Awareness (Dual SA).

Day & Night Vision Enhancement

Designed for modern dismounted operations, Kopin’s integrated day and night vision enhancement enables continuous situational awareness across full-spectrum lighting conditions.
