F35Rockwell Collins has awarded Kopin a $1.8 million follow-on order to produce active matrix liquid crystal displays for F-35 flight helmets.

Kopin’s SXGA visual technology will be built to integrate with Rockwell’s F-35 helmet-mounted display systems, Dr. John Fan, president and CEO of Kopin, said Monday.

Fan added the orders are for the F-35 program’s low-rate initial production lots seven and eight.

Rockwell developed the HMDS to help fighter pilots access airspeed, heading, altitude, targeting and warning information during missions.

The wearable device is also designed to receive real-time imagery collected from multiple F-35 infrared cameras through the aircraft’s distributed aperture system.
