Applied Energetics, Inc. (OTCQB: AERG) recently presented at Webull’s Technology Webinar Week, where CEO Chris Donaghey shared updates on the company’s mission to revolutionize directed energy with ultrashort pulse laser (USPL) systems. Applied Energetics, Inc. is a B2i Digital Featured Company. View its profile at https://lnkd.in/eVEkcBCH. Donaghey outlined the company’s vision, “Directed Energy Anywhere,” and emphasized that solving the size, weight, and power (SWaP) challenge is key to achieving that vision. Most current military laser systems are prototypes; AERG aims to deliver a scalable, repeatable architecture that is deployable across both mobile and fixed defense platforms. Highlights from the presentation included: - Operational efficiency at tactical range: AERG’s USPL system is designed to neutralize small drone optics from one kilometer or more in under one second, significantly reducing the likelihood of successful attacks. - Compact design: The design objective of the production system weighs under 60 pounds and draws about 1,000 watts—“about the same amount of energy as your garage door opener.” - Differentiation through peak power: AERG targets 20 billion watts of peak power to rapidly disrupt or destroy sensors, with multi-wavelength flexibility to counter visible through long-wave infrared. - Exclusive domain leadership: Donaghey noted that AERG has won all three DoD contracts awarded to date for USPL-based directed energy and holds 27 patents, with 7 pending and 11 additional filings under government secrecy orders. - Near-term focus: “My highest priority is getting our counter-drone system into the battle lab to demonstrate multi-target engagement on demand,” Donaghey said.

💧 Big news from Pittsburgh Water! Pittsburgh Water just recorded its lowest-ever lead level — 2.0 ppb, far below the EPA action level. This milestone, certified by Pennsylvania DEP, shows what’s possible when science, transparency, and community investment come together. With more than 23,000 lead lines replaced and full removal on track by 2027, Pittsburgh Water is setting the standard for safe, lead-free water across the nation. This is what progress looks like: data-driven, transparent, and community-focused. Congratulations to the team leading the way. 👏 #WaterQuality #LeadFree #Infrastructure #PublicHealth #SmartWater #120Water #makewaterworkforeveryone https://lnkd.in/ej9FPgH9

Utilities only get one real shot to make a lasting connection — when a customer first signs up or moves in. That moment sets the tone for every interaction that follows. That’s why I like what Questline Digital’s Engage™ platform enables: smarter, data-driven engagement that turns a simple welcome into a long-term relationship. Engaged customers are 80% more likely to participate in utility programs — that’s impact you can measure. Making that first touchpoint count isn’t optional anymore — it’s the opportunity. #UtilityMarketing #CustomerEngagement #EnergyInnovation

Thank you for sharing this Emily Brackett! This is certainly important to tech - but really important for so many brands in other industries, too. I think a really good test is to get someone who ISN'T in your organization to read your website homepage and ask them to answer these 3 questions: Who does my company (product or service) help? How does it help my clients (customers)? Why should they care? And, if they don't get all three answers correct - it's time to rethink the messaging!

We are all cyber targets regardless of size and regardless of industry. I have seen the smallest of the small and the largest of the large suffer a cyber attack. It is not a fun experience. Stay safe and plan ahead!
