MicroVision, Inc. has shipped its IRIS lidar sensors to Lake Fusion Technologies (LFT) LLC to accelerate the deployment of advanced situational awareness solutions. This expanded collaboration, which also involves Timberline Aerospace, aims to expedite the development and delivery of integrated IRIS Sensor Packages for commercial, critical infrastructure, security, and government applications. The shipments mark a milestone in bringing MicroVision more fully into the LFT ecosystem to broaden capabilities and support validation activities.

Timberline Aerospace will play a key role in driving adoption, integration, and FAA Certification of LFT's situational awareness platform globally. The companies are working together to streamline deployment pathways and scale delivery of sensor-enabled solutions. This effort is expected to support broader and faster deployment of MicroVision's IRIS lidar sensors as a foundational perception technology powering these platforms.

The collaboration seeks to establish MicroVision's IRIS sensor as a primary lidar component within LFT's platform architecture. This reinforces the strategic decision by LFT and Timberline Aerospace to bring MicroVision onboard to meet growing demand for high-performance, reliable perception technologies in complex operating environments.

"Organizations operating in critical environments require perception solutions that combine accuracy, reliability, and scalability," said Glen DeVos, Chief Executive Officer of MicroVision. "We are pleased to be welcomed by Lake Fusion Technologies LLC and Timberline Aerospace as part of their expanding ecosystem, and to support their efforts to accelerate deployment of advanced situational awareness solutions worldwide."

"Welcoming MicroVision onboard strengthens our ability to broaden and accelerate delivery of our IRIS Sensor Packages," said Christian Meyer, CEO of LFT Group. "Combined with Timberline Aerospace's reach and deployment expertise, this collaboration positions us to rapidly deliver advanced situational awareness capabilities across both commercial and government sectors."

Strategic Alignment

The partnership aligns with MicroVision's Lidar 2.0 strategy, which focuses on delivering complete perception solutions that extend beyond hardware to support real-world customer deployments across industrial, security, defense, infrastructure, and emerging autonomy markets. The collaboration demonstrates how MicroVision's technology enables scalable solutions to move efficiently from development into real-world deployment.

Key Participants

MicroVision, Inc. has signed a Master Development Agreement (MDA) with a leading global manufacturer of construction and mining equipment to advance lidar technology for autonomous hauling solutions. The partnership, effective June 1, 2026, establishes a framework to jointly develop, validate, and commercialize advanced perception capabilities designed to enhance safety, productivity, and efficiency in complex industrial environments. This agreement marks a significant step in MicroVision's strategy to deploy its perception technologies in large-scale industrial applications.

The collaboration will initially feature the integration of two of MicroVision's Iris lidar sensors on each off-highway truck used in hauling operations, such as quarry and aggregate work. The partners will also evaluate MicroVision's next-generation Halo sensor as a natural evolution of the Iris platform, offering backward system compatibility to existing customers. Development activities are currently underway, with testing and validation efforts focused on supporting the customer's future autonomous product roadmap.

"Signing this MDA represents a significant milestone in MicroVision's strategy to bring our perception technologies into large-scale industrial applications," said Glen DeVos, Chief Executive Officer of MicroVision. He added that the partnership validates the value-enhancing asset acquisition completed in the first quarter of this year and provides a clear pathway for commercial opportunities.

The agreement leverages MicroVision's portfolio of perception technologies, including long-range lidar, short-range lidar, and software-defined capabilities developed for automotive, industrial, and security & defense markets. The company aims to deliver high-resolution environmental awareness, obstacle detection, and situational intelligence through this collaboration.
