More momentum for XTEND. 🚀
Congrats to the team on another important U.S. defense milestone. Proud to be an investor and supplier. 🦅

Strengthening the Defense Industrial Base Starts at Home.
Kopin’s Nic Peterson is attending DIBX 2026 in Philadelphia this week, joining government and industry leaders focused on strengthening the U.S. defense industrial base.
The momentum behind onshoring critical production and expanding domestic supply-chain capacity continues to grow. For Kopin, that mission is directly connected to the advanced microdisplays and optical systems supporting next-generation warfighter vision.
As defense requirements evolve, trusted U.S.-based technology and manufacturing capacity will play an increasingly important role in readiness and national security.

🇺🇸 The future of defense is being built at home.
Nic Peterson representing $KOPN at DIBX 2026 as the U.S. accelerates domestic defense manufacturing.
Microdisplays. Optics. Drones. Warfighter technology.
@kopin is positioning itself right where the future is headed. 🚀

Literally chilling in this market. I did my buys $APLD $QS $KOPN $RDW etc.
Finally found a golf coach who can teach me, starting soon. Focused on my health, family and business.
Only time I checked the portfolio today was when I was buying. After that, nothing.
Enjoyed watching some Avatar The Last Airbender.
Guys, go out and touch grass if you have nothing to do. If you are not going to buy or sell, no need to stare at the app or the charts. Looking harder does not change anything. The force is beyond our reach.
Long term, no one can keep a good company’s price down. Period.
Advancing the Future of Mission-Ready FPV.
Kopin was recently featured in the @DefensePost for securing multiple prototype orders for our Sentinel FPV™ technology from customers participating in the U.S. Government's Drone Dominance Program.
The Defense Post noted:
“The orders come as customers evaluate the system as part of their offerings for the Pentagon’s Drone Dominance program, a $1‑billion effort to expand domestic production of small tactical unmanned aerial systems and reduce reliance on foreign suppliers.”
As demand grows for domestically developed FPV technologies, Kopin remains focused on supporting customers and partners with application-specific visual technologies for the next generation of unmanned systems.

This solution continues to pop up in unannounced trials, tests and qualifiers as the pilots gain more exposure to this solution developed specifically for warfighters and not adapted from older solutions born from non-hostile use cases.
Imagine flying down the streets of New York City — seeing every detail with total clarity while still staying fully aware of your surroundings. That vision captures exactly what we’re focused on as Kopin Corporation enters the FPV drone market.
Our approach for first-person viewers is different: not fully immersive, but designed to give operators both the drone’s perspective and real‑world situational awareness. In today’s geopolitical environment, that balance matters more than ever.
Around the world, organizations are relying on remote capabilities to understand fast‑changing situations, respond with precision, and keep people safe. Greater clarity and awareness aren’t just technical advantages — they’re strategic ones that shape outcomes.
Proud of the team driving this innovation forward, and excited about the role @kopin can play as FPV technology becomes increasingly central to modern operations.
THE BIGGEST IPOs OF THE LAST 15 YEARS HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON:
THEY CRUSHED THE PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT THE HYPE.
🇺🇸 Robinhood -90%. Rivian -88%. Lyft -79%. Coinbase -57%. Facebook -54%. Median max drawdown: -54% in year one.
Big brands. Big narratives. Big backing. Still brutal entries.
SpaceX has the same DNA: enormous hype, low float, early investors deep in the green and waiting to sell.
A great company isn't a great IPO buy. By the time everyone wants in, they are the liquidity.
@Courage_wins When the world around is different b/c of ONDAS, you’ll know it’s okay to take gains. Anything sooner is a missed opportunity. Drones protecting us from drones and threats will be as common as fire extinguishers in every major facility. Until installed, we are early!
When every second counts, vision becomes the edge.
Kopin’s display and optical solutions are designed to help operators see more, react faster, and maintain an advantage when every decision matters.

We've officially shipped all 2,400 drones ordered through the Drone Dominance Program's Gauntlet I, with 1,040 already verified by the Department of War.
While the gauntlets are a test of a single drone's capabilities, fulfilling the subsequent orders is where manufacturers compete on speed and scale.
The leaderboard speaks for itself.
Congratulations to the engineering and production teams at Neros who made this happen!
Onward to Gauntlet II.
The drone renaissance is here.
FPV technology is reshaping how operators see, decide, and act in real time.
Kopin powers next-gen FPV and unmanned systems with low-latency, high-clarity microdisplays built for mission success.

Two underappreciated $KOPN angles emerged this week that changed the math for me.
Both came from Michael Murray, one on a $BULL presentation and one in a $FABC press release.
ANGLE 1: Soldier Borne Mission Command (SBMC) is what I see as a platform-agnostic supplier play.
SBMC is a US Army program with a $1B SAM. About 240,000 displays plus night vision goggle enhancements and thermal weapon sites.
Three primes are competing for the program:
@anduriltech (with $META as display partner)
Rivet ($PLTR -backed startup)
@ElbitAmerica $ESLT (partnered with Booz Allen)
Asked directly on the call:
"Does Kopin have the potential to supply all of the primes? The answer is absolutely yes."
That single line is what changed how I see this position.
The traditional defense supplier story is binary for me. You bet on one prime, you win or lose with them.
Kopin's color MicroLED, funded by a $15.4M IBAS award directly from the Department of War, is being designed in with the Army directly, not with any individual prime. So when their tech is ready for insertion, the capability exists to plug into all three.
Three primes competing. The potential for Kopin to be the display layer underneath all of them.
That's the kind of structural setup I look for when I'm trying to find asymmetric exposure in defense.
