About INLEAP Photonics
INLEAP Photonics is a Laser Zentrum Hannover spin-out developing pixel-based laser beam steering without moving mechanical scanner parts. Its FASTLIGHT technology is used in industrial laser processing and underpins FASTLIGHT SHIELD, a precision counter-drone effector designed to engage targeted small UAS while limiting collateral exposure.
The company is preparing fixed and mobile configurations for series production, including integration with unmanned ground platforms. It also works with STARK on combined C-UAS architectures. INLEAP’s role is the laser effector and beam-control layer within a broader detection, tracking and command stack, not an aircraft or ground-robot platform.
