Leading into a what is the Biggest Defensive conference of the year @AUSAorg 🇺🇸 🌎 Tonight on @60Minutes Secret Service’s deputy director called drone swarms “a HUGE problem & a BIG threat.” Says the swarm problem still isn’t solved. ‼️ suggest watching as it goes over the numerous @realDonaldTrump assassinations etc. 🐂 another reminder of why I’m so bullish on $LPTH G5 Infrared & they showcasing it tomorrow 🐂 @lightpathtech infrared optics & thermal cameras are critical to seeing & tracking threats day or night 👀 putting them at the heart of counter-drone defense, border security & missile guidance 🧑‍🚀 Also G5 Infrared Black Diamond bypasses the global defense supply chain risks associated w/ germanium, @skrubin knows optics as well as anyone. You need to see 👀 the threat, track it & take it down. A lot of opportunity across that chain of course: $UMAC — US-made motors & components $LASR — high-energy lasers $KTOS — mobile counter-drone systems $AVAV — LOCUST laser defense $ONDS — autonomous drone interceptors $AMPX — high-energy drone batteries $DPRO — counter-drone systems in development $RCAT — Army-selected reconnaissance drones Feel this is going/must be a major spending priority for years but we really need to a solid budget line item awarded this Dec. As we near the midterm elections imo more likely that we will see the NOT see $1.5 proposed Defense budget adopted & more along the lines of a $1.14T. We need to see that this new defense threat be properly funded. Let’s see @DeptofWar 🧐 LightPath’s transformation keeps getting more interesting especially bc of germanium shortage 🤓 Long $LPTH 🧑‍🚀
