LightPath Promotes Engineering VP for Imaging Systems Role

ORLANDO, Fla., September 21, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- LightPath Technologies, a leading provider of next-generation optics and imaging systems for both defense and commercial applications, has promoted Michael Amorelli to the position of Vice President (VP) Engineering, Imaging Systems. The promotion takes effect on September 1, 2026. Mr. Amorelli, who previously served as the engineering manager of the company's G5 Infrared operations in Hudson, New Hampshire, which LightPath acquired in February 2025, will now lead all infrared camera and imaging systems product development, including research and development (R&D), engineering, and program execution across the company's New Hampshire, Orlando, and Texas sites.

In his new role, Mr. Amorelli will draw on his years of experience at G5 Infrared and General Dynamics to grow LightPath's portfolio of imaging systems, expanding the use of BlackDiamond materials and the company's imaging technologies into new camera systems for drone, security, and defense applications that complement G5's existing product lines.
