Kopin to provide microdisplay for Lockheed Martin version of future anti-air missile guidance and control
ORLANDO, Fla. – Lockheed Martin Corp. engineers developing a next-generation short-range anti-air missile needed a visual display subsystem to help keep the missile on target. They found a solution from Kopin Corp. in Westborough, Mass.
Officials of the Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control segment in Orlando, Fla., have selected Kopin for the Visual Display Subsystem (VDS) on Lockheed Martin's version of the future Next-Generation Short-Range Interceptor (NGSRI).
Kopin will build and test the high-resolution VDS assembly for the Lockheed Martin NGSRI. Kopin's visual display includes the company's organic light emitting diode (OLED) microdisplay, drive electronics, and optical designs for the Command Launch Assembly (CLA) component in the Lockheed Martin NGSRI version. Kopin will deliver VDS assemblies for simulated and operational missile launch tests.
