American Marconi Wireless News - Laser Photonics Selected to Present LSAD in Accelerator Alley at SOF Week 2026

Set to take place in Tampa, Florida, in mid-May, SOF Week is an annual international conference and exhibition that brings together senior leaders from U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), government agencies, and industry partners to discuss emerging operational requirements, mission challenges, and advanced technologies. Accelerator Alley is a key feature of the event: a dedicated innovation showcase designed to connect early-stage and non-traditional defense companies with SOF operators, program offices, and investors, providing a forum to demonstrate capabilities aligned with current and future special operations needs.

Laser Photonics and its defense affiliate, Fonon Technologies, were selected to exhibit their Laser Shield Anti-Drone (LSAD) system in development at Accelerator Alley. The selection reflects interest from the special operations community in evaluating emerging directed-energy technologies and provides an opportunity for government and defense stakeholders to engage directly with the companies on LSAD's potential applications in support of mission requirements.

"We're very excited about this opportunity to engage with the nation's key defense decision-makers at SOF Week," commented Matthew Kime, Vice President of Government Sales at Fonon Technologies. "It's a great environment for meaningful discussions around potential use cases and operational considerations for LSAD."
