DEFENSE
LightPath Technologies, Inc. has enhanced its domestic defense supply chain in response to the Fiscal Year 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which requires the U.S. Department of War to reduce reliance on foreign optical systems by 2030.
The company, which has acquired Amorphous Materials, Inc. to bolster its domestic glass manufacturing capabilities, offers NDAA-compliant products that utilize its proprietary BlackDiamond infrared glass technology. LightPath aims to mitigate material risks while supporting defense and aerospace applications, encouraging early engagement with defense programs for compliance and deployment.
