As part of our presence at SPIE’s Defense, Security & Sensing conference and trade show, LaserMotive was interviewed by the local Fox TV affiliate WOFL on the topic of laser power beaming. Company president Tom Nugent spoke with WOFL’s reporter. The station also shot footage of the various electric helicopters and aircraft on display, including the fully functioning laser powered micro helicopter.
“Laser power beaming continues to gain awareness, both with industry professionals as well as the public,” says Tom, “and the interest in the general news media at this level helps confirm this.”
In addition to WOFL, LaserMotive had meetings with select trade media during the Exhibition, including Photonics Online and Unmanned Vehicles Magazine. We’ll post more as coverage comes out.
