USAF Coatings Removal Team

From the first automated off-aircraft laser depainting system at Tinker Air Force Base to the LADS II program at Hill Air Force Base, ALE’s engineering innovations solved complex technical challenges while significantly improving maintenance efficiency. Our proprietary Automated Laser Alignment System (ALAS) and advanced sensing technologies have enhanced system reliability, reduced operator intervention, and contributed to annual operational cost savings measured in millions of dollars. Today, ALE continues to build on this legacy by developing next-generation laser technologies capable of precise, layer-by-layer coating identification and removal on advanced composite and stealth aircraft materials, supporting the future of military sustainment and readiness.
