Laser Photonics Corporation, a leading global developer of industrial laser systems for cleaning and other material processing applications, in partnership with its sibling company Fonon Technologies, announced today that it is processing the order for a DefenseTech laser system from the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PHNSY & IMF).

LPC is to deliver to PHNSY & IMF the DefenseTech MRLS Portable Finishing Laser 1010 (DTMF-1010) – an ultra-compact and portable pulsed fiber laser system for surface treatment. Designed explicitly for the naval tool kit, the DTMF-1010 is efficient in small-scale de-oxidation and rust control, top-layer coating removal and micro-surface polishing.

“Fonon Technologies is our trusted partner in promoting our laser-powered solutions to the U.S. Navy and defense maintenance professionals,” said Wayne Tupuola, CEO of LPC. “We developed the DTMF-1010 to make the surface treatment of naval assets near waterways a more sustainable process, and we are excited about this order from the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard.”

This order underscores the dedication of LPC and Fonon Technologies to equip naval bases, dry docks, boatyards and marinas with top-tier laser solutions and solidifies their reputation in the defense industry.

DefenseTech laser systems present a sustainable approach to surface preparation in defense and naval MRO settings, eliminating the need for toxic chemicals and abrasive media, thus reducing secondary waste and health risks for operators. DefenseTech systems efficiently remove corrosion, coatings, oil, wax, and residue while preserving the integrity of critical components, ensuring operational readiness and extending equipment lifespan.
