Gene Inger's questions to LIGHTPATH TECHNOLOGIES (LPTH) leadership • Q1 2025
Question
Inquired about potential involvement in the Apache Longbow project, whether foreign military sales of Apaches create new business, the possibility of using lenses as a laser countermeasure, and any involvement in space-based LiDAR for collision avoidance.
Answer
The company cannot comment on specific programs but noted that modernizing platforms like the Apache typically involves upgrading optics. Foreign military sales represent long-term opportunities, as upgrades are provided to the U.S. military first. Using lenses to deflect lasers is unlikely as it would also block desired light. The company is not directly aware of involvement in space-based LiDAR but could be an indirect supplier through its LiDAR customers.
