The contracts, awarded by a top defense supplier, extend through 2027 and bolster LightPath’s backlog in counter-drone systems.
LightPath Technologies received $13M in follow-on purchase orders from a leading defense contractor for optical assemblies used in counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS). The company will fulfill the orders by the end of 2027, supporting its defense segment growth.
The award follows prior contracts with the same supplier, reflecting sustained demand for precision optics in military applications. LightPath did not disclose the exact timeline of previous orders but noted the new contracts align with long-term defense procurement cycles.
Shares of LPTH showed limited movement in after-hours trading, as the announcement confirmed existing business rather than new customer wins.
