Where art and engineering become one.
DLE is easier to think about less as a company, but as an umbrella for the subdivided activities in which it participates in. From consumer electronics to public infrastructure and radiation safety, we diversify our activities across industrial and national borders and markets to better apply our strengths.
The SLD division is the heart and soul of DLE, with its focus on consumer electronics and appliances, but provides design support for all other divisions of DLE as the beating R&D heart of the organization. Product commissions and partnerships are also generally classified under this division.
The Leviathan Division generally encapsulates the wider impact of DLE, particularly in the fields of public infrastructure and government contracts. This includes but is not limited to net zero power generation facilities, drone systems, and innovations that blend these systems into the public sphere. Ultimately what separates Leviathan from SLD, however, is this division is responsible for products that are designed exclusively for organizations and governments.
The Litavis Division is responsible for designs that go above and beyond, particularly those that require a bespoke, intimate touch. The mission of Litavis includes but is not limited to the automotive, fashion, luxury goods, and cybernetics markets.
Project Onslaught amphibious medium-weight drone system series is the current priority project of DLE.
A core mission of DLE is the design and product development of projects that are in the public interest of both nations foreign and domestic, and the potential adoption of cutting-edge technology in pursuit of that mission. Our first project in with this mission in mind is Project Combo-Detector, which in itself is be broken into 4 separate products. Namely, handheld wand and portal monitor variants of a radiation and metal detector. In partnership with a PhD-led UCLA-based research lab, the pilot product for Project Combo-Detector was a modular-scalable portal monitor meant for use in shipping ports to scan shipping containers transported by both semi-trucks and double-decker train cars. In addition, Combo-Detector responds to gamma, neutron and X-ray radiation, and is capable of locating a radiation source in 3D space and, with that data, generating a viewable 3D heatmap of a passing container. Another key innovation for this project is an ergonomic grip meant to facilitate more comfortable extended use, a more robust rapid-deployment mechanism inspired by law enforcement feedback and easier storage.
To a similar mission of Project Combo-Detector, Project Sting aims to bring cutting edge technology to market and support research labs and their innovations. Project Sting itself is split into 3 products, consisting of 2 PRDs (a compact and standard size) and an RID. Designed in partnership with a PhD-led UCLA-based research lab and with feedback from law enforcement, the PRDs and RID responds to gamma, neutron and X-ray radiation with a PVT-based detection element. These devices also use standardized components that are intended to pass on significant cost-savings to end-use customers without sacrificing functionality. Consideration was also given to use-cases, and a rapid deployment holster designed to interface with the standard hardpoints and equip to a belt is also available separately.
As part of Our Contract Engineering Services, we may partake in long-term partnerships with clients, whether they be individuals or other companies. Some of our first clients include SHLUMPT.co, BOSSWEAR, Ken Hacke Arts. More recent partnerships include NanoRad and MPLG.
DLE was started as a Contract Engineering Company based out of a bedroom in Signal Hill, California. Since then, it’s evolved into a venture design studio with the various divisions it has today with manufacturing partnerships in England and the United States, with plans to expand engineering offices in central and southern Europe.
