SOCOM Actively Evaluates Laser Photonics' Defense Tech, Requests Technical Submission
Summary
Laser Photonics and its affiliate Fonon Technologies reported strong engagement with the U.S. defense sector following SOF Week 2026. SOCOM program offices are actively evaluating their laser corrosion removal, directed-energy solutions, and additive manufacturing systems, with a formal request for a detailed technical submission for the BTS™ Bulk-to-Shape system.
