Laser Photonics Corporation (NASDAQ:LASE) experienced a significant surge in its stock price, climbing 22.52% to $2.96 in after-hours trading on Tuesday. This increase followed the announcement that the company's Laser Shield Anti-Drone (LSAD) system was selected by the U.S. Department of War under the Mission Engineering and Integration Activity's Vulcan Call for Solutions. The LSAD was recognized as one of the top submissions in the Counter-Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance and Targeting category after a thorough technical review. CEO Wayne Tupuola emphasized that this selection validates the technology's mission relevance and readiness, positioning it to address critical counter-unmanned aerial systems (UAS) capability gaps. Following this news, Laser Photonics has been invited to engage in a technical exchange, which could lead to further prototyping and experimentation. As of now, the stock is trading closer to its 52-week low of $0.38, despite a 160.92% increase in regular session trading, closing at $2.42.
