[News] Vuzix and Collins Aerospace Announce Strategic Collaboration to Scale Augmented Reality Defense Solutions

Vuzix® Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), (“Vuzix” or, the “Company”), a leading supplier of AI-powered smart glasses, advanced waveguides, and augmented reality (AR) technologies for defense and enterprise applications, today announced the continuation of its multi-year development collaboration with Collins Aerospace, an RTX business. The relationship has resulted in the production approval and delivery of advanced waveguide-based AR display systems for deployment across multiple U.S. Department of Defense programs.

Under this development program, Vuzix has already completed the design and development of a waveguide-based display engine for a Collins Aerospace next-generation wearable display system, initially aimed at supporting dismounted soldier operations and drone control. This collaboration enables near-term low-rate initial production (LRIP) and strategically positions both companies to meet projected full-rate production needs beginning in 2026, leveraging Vuzix’ custom waveguide manufacturing capabilities. The procurement marks a significant step in Vuzix supporting U.S.-based defense manufacturing and establishing the Company as a key enabler and component of Collins Aerospace’s advanced vision systems. Joint process validation is being completed after several years of development, with end customer-approved final hardware deliveries to government customers expected to begin in the first quarter of 2026.

“This collaboration with Collins Aerospace marks another major inflection point in re-establishing Vuzix’ defense manufacturing roadmap,” said Paul Travers, President and CEO of Vuzix. “By working with trusted integrators in the aerospace and defense industry, we are using our expertise and waveguide manufacturing capacity to deliver ruggedized, high-performance waveguide systems at scale, an essential step as defense demand for next generation products transitions from R&D to deployment.”
