_Partnership progresses from initial testing to commercial deployment, bringing 
MicroVision’s long-range lidar technology to LFT’s advanced airborne situational-
awareness solutions _

Orlando, Florida, United States, November 5, 2026 — [MicroVision, Inc.](https://microvision.com/)(
NASDAQ: MVIS), a leader in advanced perception solutions for industrial, security
and defense, intelligent infrastructure, and automotive mobility, today announced
a multi-year strategic partnership agreement with[ LAKE FUSION Technologies (LFT)](https://lf-t.net/),
a German developer of advanced sensor fusion and situational awareness systems. 
Under the agreement, LFT has committed to purchasing MicroVision IRIS™ long-range
lidar sensors throughout 2027 and into 2028 for integration into its Awareness Systems(
AS-1), designed to enhance safety and obstacle detection for civil and military 
helicopter operations.

The multi-year agreement marks another significant commercial milestone following
the companies’ June 2026 announcement to expedite the integration of IRIS lidar 
technology and accelerate the deployment of advanced situational awareness solutions.
With testing and evaluation progressing into a formal strategic partnership, MicroVision
and LFT have now established a framework to develop, certify, market, supply, and
support integrated lidar-based situational awareness solutions.

“This agreement is another clear demonstration of our strategy moving from technology
validation to commercial commitments on our path to profitability,” said Glen DeVos,
Chief Executive Officer of MicroVision. “LAKE FUSION Technologies’ commitment to
acquiring IRIS sensors reinforces the value of our long-range lidar technology in
demanding, safety-critical environments. Together, we are extending our technology
into airborne applications while establishing a foundation for additional opportunities
across defense, safety, and security markets.”

LFT’s AS-1 solutions integrate two MicroVision IRIS sensors, mounted in the nose
of a helicopter, with advanced sensor fusion software to provide flight crews with
early warning of obstacles and environmental hazards. Designed for both day and 
night operations, the system detects difficult-to-see hazards, including power lines
and thin wires, that pose significant risks during low-altitude flight.

The solution is particularly relevant for demanding helicopter missions, including
takeoff and landing outside established airports, confined-area landings, search
and rescue, hoisting and sling-load operations, and hovering or low-speed maneuvers
in complex environments.

MicroVision’s IRIS lidar technology combines a 1550 nm Class 1 eye-safe laser, and
an ultra-sensitive InGaAs receiver to deliver long-range detection of small, dark,
and low-reflectance objects. Its invisible laser operation is compatible with night
vision goggles, making it particularly well suited for aviation and defense applications
requiring reliable perception in challenging conditions.

“By integrating MicroVision’s IRIS lidar technology into AS-1, we are bringing advanced
obstacle detection capabilities to helicopter operators facing some of the most 
complex operational environments,” said Christian Meyer, Chief Executive Officer
of LAKE FUSION Technologies. “This strategic partnership gives us a framework to
advance the solution from system development and certification through market introduction
and long-term fleet support, with opportunities to expand into additional applications.”

The partnership encompasses the full product lifecycle, from system architecture
and prototyping through certification, commercialization, supply, fleet support,
and future product generations. While initially focused on helicopters and civil
airborne applications, the companies intend to explore additional opportunities 
in ground-based defense, safety, and security markets.

“This partnership strengthens our path to the North American market,” said Tim Schlegel,
CEO and Managing Partner of LAKE FUSION Technologies LLC. “Together with MicroVision,
we aim to give helicopter crews earlier warning of hazards and greater confidence
across commercial and government missions.”
