LSP Technologies and Airbus have together developed a portable laser peening system that is currently undergoing testing and evaluation
LSP Technologies has enhanced its Procudo Laser Peening System, enabling it to be integrated more easily and effectively into factory workflow and operations
A new laser peening system will be installed on-board a Littoral Combat Ship, a lightweight vessel designed for ocean-going and near-shore operations. (MCC Keith DeVinney/U.S. Navy)
The system will be based on LSP’s Laser Procudo Peening system, which will be installed with a custom-designed beam deck delivery system on-board a Littoral Combat Ship
