LightPath Technologies, Inc. a leading provider of next-generation optics and imaging systems for both defense and commercial applications announced it has received $13 million in follow-on purchase orders from a leading C-UAS and defense systems supplier for optical assemblies. Under the order, LightPath will provide optical assembly work, with delivery completion expected in CY 2027.
The orders support one of the fastest-growing areas of the defense market, as the proliferation of unmanned aerial threats drives urgent demand for counter-UAS capabilities among the U.S. military and its allies. The award also reflects the strength of LightPath’s optical assemblies business, one of the Company’s three pillars of growth, and its differentiated in-house assembly capabilities serving mission-critical defense applications.
LightPath Chief Executive Officer Sam Rubin said: “We are proud to support one of the defense industry’s most innovative companies with the optical assemblies that help enable its counter-UAS systems, as part of a multi-year program that is expected to continue to grow. As unmanned threats reshape the modern battlefield, demand for counter-drone capabilities is accelerating rapidly. This order underscores the strength of our assembly capabilities and the expanding role we play with leading defense technology customers seeking superior products backed by secure, domestic supply chains.”
