Leonardo Electronics US Inc. (LEI), a leading manufacturer of semiconductor lasers and systems for automotive, defense, security, medical, and industrial applications, and US subsidiary of Leonardo, announced today that it has obtained the automotive IATF 16949 certification. Leonardo is now one of a select few automotive certified manufacturers of both Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) arrays and edge-emitting laser sources for lidar, Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS) and other sensing applications.

As Leonardo operations in the US work to close out 2020 with deliveries across a range of US programs, we are looking ahead to 2021. Whether government, security, medical, industrial or automotive, the advancements we’re working toward are strategically designed to support your needs and growth targets.

Leonardo Electronics US facility in Huntsville, AL has long helped the US DoD strengthen its supply chain and support key programs. By locally servicing laser systems for critical platforms like the Apache, Leonardo can reduce out-of-service time by as much as six weeks. This bespoke, highly specialized skillset, allows the DoD and prime contractors to procure best-in-class technology, while meeting the unique requirements of the US DoD.

The COVID-19 pandemic has proven to be a complicated issue for nearly every organization. Regardless of industry, size, or location, everyone has had to work quickly and diligently to protect their employees and customers during this time. There is simply no game plan for operating through a worldwide shut down. For Lasertel, a business unit of Leonardo Electronics US, the effect has been no different. 

Tucson, AZ (Jan 31, 2020) — Leonardo Electronics US Lasertel team will showcase recent advancements in customizable laser diode sources and laser system product lines at Photonics West in South Hall Booth #457 this February.

We are excited to announce that as of January 1, 2020, we have merged the Selex Galileo Inc. and Lasertel Inc. businesses to form Leonardo Electronics US Inc., a US-based independent entity providing next-gen technologies in the defense, security, medical, automotive, and industrial segments.  

Lasertel will be exhibiting at LASER World of PHOTONICS, June 24-27 in Munich, Germany. Our team will be showcasing capabilities in three major industries: automotive lidar, medical and industrial in booth 104, Hall A3. Show attendees can stop by the booth to talk through their system design challenges, discover our latest lidar source capabilities and see the following products on display:

Earlier this month, Lasertel exhibited at SPIE’s 2019 BiOS and Photonics West. This year, the show hosted over 1,300 companies and facilitated a week full of research with over 5,000 presentations and courses. For Lasertel, the week started with exhibiting at the BiOS conference, highlighting the T6 high powered laser diode, the industry standard component for laser hair removal systems. 

Lasertel will showcase our integrated drive electronics and laser sources for automotive LiDAR applications at CES 2019. You can find our team in the LeddarTech Pavilion (CP-16) throughout the show, January 8 – 11 in Las Vegas, Nevada.  

In support of our recent expansion, our team has announced new key leadership positions as well as a robust hiring initiative.
