Laser Photonics Corporation, a global supplier of laser systems for industrial and defense applications, together with Fonon Technologies, an affiliated company within the LASE Group of Companies, has announced that its Laser Shield Anti-Drone (LSAD) system has been selected by the Department of War under the Mission Engineering and Integration Activity (MEIA) Vulcan Call for Solutions.
The LSAD was recognized as one of the top submissions in the Counter C5ISR-T category following a rigorous review by government mission engineering and technical teams.
As a result of this selection, the Company has been invited to participate in an exclusive one-on-one technical exchange with government engineers from the MEIA Missions, Capabilities, and Analysis Team (MCAT) at the upcoming Industry Technical Exchange Meeting. The gated evaluation session is focused on deep technical validation, scalability, and mission alignment of selected defense solutions.
The MEIA Vulcan Call for Solutions is a competitive government evaluation process designed to identify and advance mission-relevant technologies across key defense capability areas. Selection represents a significant milestone in the evaluation pipeline, with capabilities that advance beyond the technical exchange having the potential to be considered for follow-on prototyping, experimentation, and transition support.
Management Commentary
“This selection by the Department of War validates the mission relevance and readiness of our LSAD directed-energy technology,”
said Wayne Tupuola, Chief Executive Officer of Laser Photonics.
“Being recognized as a top submission and invited to a direct technical exchange with government engineers reinforces our confidence that the LSAD is well-positioned to address critical counter unmanned aerial system (UAS) capability gaps for our warfighters.”
