INLEAP Photonics develops precision laser-beam steering for industrial processing and counter-drone defense.
Product and customers
Its FASTLIGHT SHIELD system directs a rapidly steered laser onto a drone’s vulnerable point to disable it without ammunition; the underlying pixel-based steering technology also supports manufacturing. The company is moving from validated industrial technology toward defense deployments and scaled production for armed forces and critical-infrastructure operators.
