Laser Photonics Among Winners of NCMS CTMA Warfighter Solutions Competition

NCMS Awards Winners $25,000 To Develop Proposal for CTMA Collaboration on Sustainment Assisting Robotics

Laser Photonics Corporation (LPC) (NASDAQ: LASE), a leading global developer of industrial laser systems for cleaning and other material processing applications, announces its award-winning participation in the Rapid Innovation Workshop at this year’s NCMS Commercial Technologies for Maintenance Activities (CTMA) Partners Meeting.

Over 100 leaders from government, industry and academia gathered for the 2024 CTMA Partners Meeting in Providence, RI, in May 2024. Focused on bringing rapid sustainment solutions to the warfighter, the Partners Meeting provides a wide-ranging roster of engaging speakers, informative panels, emerging technologies, and – most highly anticipated – the hands-on, on-the-fly technology development and integration exercise known as the Rapid Innovation Workshop, back for the second year in a row.

Workshop participants chose one of four scenarios: aircraft battle damage and repair, local parts manufacturing, advanced decision support using data streams, or predictive maintenance for electrical components. The teams had 45 minutes to develop a solution for their chosen scenario and prepare a short presentation. After viewing each presentation, participants were asked to vote on the best idea for a solution, other than their own team’s.

This year’s winning group: a team of 23 that included Laser Photonics, led by NCMS Business Development Manager Marc Sharp. The group presented a solution for Scenario 1: Expeditionary Aircraft Battle Damage Assessment and Repair. NCMS has awarded $25,000 to this team to develop a proposal for a CTMA collaboration based on its solution.

“For Laser Photonics, the Warfighter Solutions Competition at the NCMS CTMA Partners Meeting was a valuable opportunity to present our next-generation, sustainable laser solutions at the DOD-wide forum,” said Wayne Tupuola, CEO of Laser Photonics. “We are extremely proud to be part of this team and receive the award alongside other industry-leading developers.”
