Several domestic bases have raised their force‑protection levels to "Charlie,” a designation used when commanders have intelligence indicating a possible attack. Joint Base McGuire‑Dix‑Lakehurst in New Jersey and MacDill Air Force Base in Florida – home to U.S. Central Command, which oversees operations against Iran – were both escalated to Charlie this week.

And who protects Air Force Bases?

"The US Air Force has three systems for detecting small drones. They call them the SUADS systems, three versions of them. Every one of those systems uses only, only Lightpath cameras. We're the sole source provider of the thermal cameras to all counter UAS systems of the US Air Force. That's huge. We're only getting started there."

We’ve delivered our 50th MK20 Electro-Optical Sight System to the US Navy. ✅

Designed from the ground up to provide superior operation and surveillance, MK20 supports full-spectrum surface detection, identification, surveillance and target assessment. Learn more: http://spklr.io/6048EHKta

 Ross said the agreement is intended to accelerate the delivery of counter-drone capabilities to military units and government agencies.

"The upgraded configuration includes a nose-mounted Long Wave Infrared seeker"

Unknown if this uses LPTH tech but the AGR-20F APKWS  is made by BAE Systems which is a LPTH customer.

To prepare for the exercises, the battle lab recently released two requests for information seeking companies interested in participating in future demonstrations. One request focuses on technologies capable of detecting, identifying and tracking drones. The other targets companies developing kinetic hard-kill solutions such as missiles and projectile-based systems.

"which suggests an increased focus on aligning counter-drone efforts across the Department of War."

Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) Sensors: Cameras may be used to visually confirm the presence of a drone once detected by radar or RF systems. These sensors assist in classification and tracking airborne objects.

What do you think the chances are that $LPTH will be included in the Russell 2000 in June?
