Kopin has achieved a milestone in the production qualification of its high-performance Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Helmet Mounted Display System (HMDS). Kopin claims its OLED is the only version moving forward into final qualification and full rate production.
As the world’s most advanced jet fighter, the F-35 is a single-seat, single-engine, all-weather, day and night, stealth combat aircraft designed to perform air superiority and strike missions, while also providing electronic warfare and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. An advanced augmented reality (AR) helmet provides the pilot with critical flight, tactical, and sensor information for advanced situational awareness, precision, and safety. The complex functionality and extreme conditions of the F-35 require unique display technology.
