SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Flyttr, the leader in biosecurity countermeasures for critical pest threats, today announced plans to build the nation's first large-scale biosecurity research, development and countermeasures platform in San Antonio, Texas. The platform is being built to give the United States and its allies standing capacity to design, test, produce and deploy countermeasures against the growing and critical pest threats that pose the greatest risk to American lives and livelihoods.

To do so, Flyttr's U.S. biosecurity platform will address the nation's critical gaps in the ability to detect, understand, and respond to growing pest threats such as disease-spreading mosquitoes, livestock parasites like the New World screwworm, and pest threats to American agriculture. Flyttr and its partners will place world-class research, engineering, manufacturing, and scale-up operations in one centralized set of facilities, so that a new pest countermeasure can move from concept to production in months, not years. It will also generate economies of scale as more pest countermeasures are developed and scaled, further supporting American interests, allies, communities, and industry partners.

"Pest biosecurity is national security," said Grey Frandsen, Chief Executive Officer of Flyttr. "This new pest biosecurity platform in San Antonio, the first of its type, will help the U.S. and its allies respond to a range of growing biosecurity threats. The screwworm is the first target, but this builds on Flyttr's ongoing work in rapidly developing and scaling new pest sentry systems, AI-powered decision-support tools, and advanced biological solutions to target vectors of diseases like dengue and malaria, pest threats to American corn and soy, and to our nation's forests, the built environment, and industry. Strong partners, hundreds of people and dozens of teams are coming together to make this happen fast, because, as screwworm shows us, we have no time to lose to bolster resilience to these threats. And unprecedented effort requires strong partnerships. We could have no better host and partner than the City of San Antonio nor a better champion of the vision than our federal partners within the U.S. government. It's game time."

The platform's first focus is New World screwworm in a program called FastFly - an accelerated manufacturing initiative to add American-made sterile flies into the national response being led by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. FastFly also includes innovation in modular pest countermeasure manufacturing, developing new production systems that can be built fast, moved, and reconfigured for a different pest threat to national security. This adds to Flyttr's global scale-up infrastructure for biological pest solutions, the largest in the world.

Flyttr has selected San Antonio for its biosecurity headquarters. San Antonio has a strong legacy of more than 100 years of supporting national and agricultural security efforts for the region and the nation. As a result, San Antonio has become a national leadership hub in the biosecurity field, with a concentration of research institutions, biosafety infrastructure and technical talent, anchored by world-class institutions including Texas Biomedical Research Institute.

Flyttr's first San Antonio facility will exceed 130,000 square feet and is anticipated to rapidly add more than 50 R&D, engineering, operations, and support jobs, growing to more than 100 as the platform scales. It adds to the advanced laboratory facilities Flyttr already operates at the Texas Biomedical Research Institute in San Antonio, a strategic partner since June 2026, and Flyttr's network of advanced R&D and commercial facilities around the world.

Flyttr's FastFly is supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) as part of a USDA-led whole-of-government approach.

"Flyttr's investment in a new San Antonio research and manufacturing facility is an exciting next step forward in our efforts to combat New World screwworm and strengthen our region's biotech innovation ecosystem," said Larry Schlesinger, MD, President and CEO at Texas Biomed. "Texas Biomed is proud to partner with Flyttr to help address this urgent challenge."

About Flyttr

Flyttr is the biosecurity platform for managing the world's most critical biological threats. The company is U.S.-owned and U.S.-led, with corporate headquarters in Radford, Virginia, biosecurity headquarters in San Antonio, Texas, and R&D and commercial operations globally.

Cambium selects recognized pilot eyewear leader, Flying Eyes, as launch partner

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cambium, a developer and manufacturer of advanced materials for defense and high-performance applications, will launch its breakthrough laser eye protection (LEP) for commercial and private pilots at the upcoming Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) 70th Air Safety Forum September 14–17, 2026 in Washington, D.C. Cambium selected pilot eyewear industry leader Flying Eyes®, a professional-grade eyewear brand founded and engineered by pilots — with established credibility with pilots — as its product-launch partner.

The bespoke eyewear will feature Flying Eyes frames fitted with Cambium LEP lenses. This introduces a new standard in laser protection, allowing pilots to comfortably and seamlessly protect their eyes from disorienting green laser dazzle, while still easily reading their instrument panel with excellent visual acuity and color contrast, even during night flights.

Laser strike incidents are a clear and present safety threat for pilots that can cause flash blindness and transient eyesight impairment after just one second of exposure. These so-called lazing incidents typically occur during landing and takeoff. The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) logs thousands of laser strikes against commercial, private, and transport aircraft pilots each year. According to the FAA, "Aiming a laser at an aircraft is a serious safety risk and violates federal law. Many high-powered lasers can completely incapacitate pilots who are trying to fly safely to their destinations and may be carrying hundreds of passengers." Weaponized laser strikes are also being used against military personnel and civilian personnel.

Cambium LEP provides commercial and private pilots next-level safety and peace of mind. This is the first commercial product to come out of Cambium's SentinelOps® next-gen photonics technology platform. Launched in July 2026, SentinelOps is a dual-use, tunable LEP and directed-energy protection platform with a broad portfolio of products in development that include helmet-based systems, satellite and ground sensors, cockpit windshield and porthole windows, and heads-up displays (HUD). Cambium's LEP for military personnel, developed with US government and internal funding, is the next SentinelOps product in the queue.

"Flying Eyes is the go-to brand for pilots everywhere. Launching with them gives us a proven commercial product and frame that pilots already seek out and trust, which enables this technology to reach the cockpit at the speed of relevance rather than the speed of procurement," said Stephan Herrera, Co-founder, Chief Marketing Officer and Head of Government Affairs at Cambium.

Flying Eyes Profile

- Flying Eyes markets a wide assortment of eyewear with frame designs that have been engineered with pilots in mind

- Ultra-thin, flexible Resilamide™ temples eliminate pressure points under headsets and helmets deliver all-day comfort without compromising fit or noise seal

- Crystal-clear vision with shatterproof, 100% UV400-protected lenses

SentinelOps LEP Product Profile

- Industry-leading optical color acuity

- Full spectrum coverage across visible and near-infrared laser illumination threats

- Photostability under hundreds of seconds of continuous 532nm laser exposure

- Scratch-resistant lens performance

- Dazzle-angle agnostic protection

- Prescription-compatible formats

- Form-factor agnostic design

Cambium would like to acknowledge the multitude of valuable contributions from the BioMADE team that helped support and advance this product's development.

About Cambium

Cambium is building the advanced materials base for those building the future. The company integrates AI-driven materials discovery, rapid product development, industrialized qualification, and flexible manufacturing into a single operating system — compressing the path from invention to qualified production from years to months. Cambium's advanced composites and specialty materials serve customers across defense, aerospace, space, high-performance automotive and other industries where performance and speed of supply are decisive.
