SynTech brings deep domain expertise in defense systems and a strong ecosystem, including established relationships across the defense sector. The company is engaged in the development of advanced solutions for unmanned systems and next-generation sensing applications, positioning it as a strategic partner for deploying high-performance perception technologies.

The collaboration reflects growing demand for advanced sensing capabilities that can operate reliably in complex, dynamic, and mission-critical environments. As defense systems increasingly incorporate autonomy and real-time decision-making, the need for adaptable, high-performance perception solutions continues to expand. As part of this relationship, SynTech has begun initial shipments of Apollo™ units to a leading defense prime, marking an important step in bringing AEye's long-range, software-defined perception technology into next-generation defense platforms.

"SynTech's strong presence in the defense ecosystem and focus on next-generation unmanned systems make them an ideal partner for expanding the reach of our technology," said Matt Fisch, CEO of AEye. "Apollo's™ combination of industry leading, long-range detection capability and software configurability allows for adaptable deployment across diverse environments, supporting safer and more effective mission outcomes."

Through this collaboration, SynTech will work to introduce AEye's Apollo™ lidar technology into relevant defense platforms, leveraging its expertise and partnerships, in the defense industry.

This relationship builds on AEye's continued expansion into markets where long-range, intelligent sensing is critical, including aerospace, defense, and advanced mobility applications. By delivering flexible, software-defined perception solutions, AEye is enabling customers to address evolving operational requirements while maintaining high standards for performance and reliability.
