About Laser Guidance Inc.


    Laser Guidance formed in 1993 to commercialize the laser based precision guidance systems invented by the two founding principles: Dr. David Shemwell and Dr. Alan Vetter.  These systems are used to guide aircraft and other vehicles during critical landing or docking phases of operation.  Designs for naval versions of these devices have been licensed to the Raytheon Corp. and are currently in series production for the US Navy.  Laser Guidance recently delivered land based and portable systems to the US Army.

     Laser Guidance also designed and built several custom precision beam directors that are used in LIDAR systems.  Laser Guidance beam directors are currently in use by Sandia National Laboratory and Japan's Environmental Protection Agency.  Laser Guidance also developed and licensed (to Falcon Medical) designs and patents for fiber optic blood oxygen measurement equipment and probes.  Many of these systems were built for mission critical military and medical applications.

     The company fully understands and has demonstrated performance in designing and building the extremely high reliability systems needed in these applications including long term deployments on the exteriors of Navy ships at sea.  The telecommunications world is similar in its' requirements for high reliability, often in demanding environments.
