Portfolio company details
York Space Systems
York Space Systems builds modular satellite platforms and provides integrated mission services. Its S-CLASS platform and work with the Space Development Agency illustrate how government demand can support a new category of defense company.
Deployed forces need reliable access to communications and timely information from orbit, even when an adversary disrupts individual assets.
Company websiteMach Industries
Mach Industries develops a family of low-cost autonomous aircraft and precision-strike systems. It has a vertically integrated manufacturing capability that can scale rapidly to meet growing global demand.
Combat units need affordable, expendable options to reach defended targets and sustain the fight when losses outpace replenishment.
Company websiteMesodyne
Mesodyne develops the LightCell, which converts available fuels into electricity at the tactical edge and addresses the power demands of distributed operations.
Small teams need to keep radios, sensors, and other essential gear running for longer without carrying excessive spare batteries or relying on frequent resupply.
Company websiteDelta Black Aerospace
Delta Black Aerospace develops the RAIDER 330, which combines long endurance and runway independence in a Group 3 uncrewed aircraft, with payload integration driven by operator requirements.
Dispersed units need persistent eyes overhead from austere positions and ships, without depending on access to an airfield.
Company websiteBlueSky Innovations
BlueSky Innovations builds tactical auxiliary power units and their diesel engines, alongside mecMasts that elevate C5ISR and counter-UAS sensor packages on platforms.
Vehicle crews need to sense and keep onboard systems running even while the engine is off.
Company websiteAZAK
AZAK develops modular autonomous ground vehicles around an in-wheel mobility architecture, supporting mission payloads across logistics, sensing, and force protection.
Soldiers need ways to move supplies and place equipment along dangerous routes while keeping people farther from enemy fire.
Company websiteAON3D
AON3D provides industrial additive manufacturing with high-performance polymers, enabling defense customers to produce parts closer to the point of need.
Maintainers need replacement components quickly so damaged equipment can return to service instead of waiting on distant suppliers.
Company websiteCritical Materials Group
Critical Materials Group develops modular, edge-based production of energetic materials and their precursors for military and civil applications, bringing production capacity closer to the point of need.
Warfighters need reliable ammunition supplies. Limited U.S. manufacturing capacity makes rebuilding this industrial base a top national security priority.
Company websiteKnowSilo
KnowSilo develops a family of highly secure computing hardware and software for AI applications to run on-premise and in tactical air-gapped environments.
Warfighters need access to the best AI tools even when the cloud is not an option.
Company websiteQuSecure
QuSecure provides software-based post-quantum security for enterprise networks, tactical communications, and edge devices without requiring wholesale hardware replacement.
Service members need orders, locations, and intelligence to remain confidential even if an adversary intercepts traffic today and gains more powerful decryption tools later.
Company websiteLongshot Space
Longshot Space develops ground based gas launch systems that accelerate very large payloads to hypersonic speeds. By removing rockets from the equation, it lowers the cost, time and complexity of hypersonic testing. And with a larger launch system, it does the same for getting bulky and heavy cargo into space.
DOD needs cheaper and faster ways to test new hypersonics systems. And because you can't build the "Death Star" on earth.
Company websiteARES Security
ARES Security develops digital twins with USG accredited AI algorithms. This validated synthetic data powers its mission planning and real-time decision support platform to protect military installations and critical infrastructure.
Commanders need a live operational picture, coordinated tasking, and timely recommendations so they can effectively direct human and machine defenders as threats unfold.
Company websiteVICO Technologies
VICO Technologies uses probability-based forecasting to translate geopolitical events into decision support for financial and government customers.
Military leaders need early warning of instability that could threaten personnel, disrupt access, or alter an operation, with enough time to prepare contingencies.
Company websiteActus Advanced Systems
Actus Advanced Systems brings autonomy below the helicopter cargo hook with BOLAS. Its suspended powered end-effector detects, aligns with, and latches onto a pre-rigged load, enabling cargo pickup without personnel beneath the aircraft.
Flight crews and ground teams need to deliver supplies in hazardous conditions with fewer people exposed around hovering rotorcraft and moving freight.
Company websiteIntrinsic Power
Intrinsic Power combines rugged power electronics, modular energy storage, and control software to connect generators, batteries, and mission loads at the tactical edge.
Deployed units need dependable electricity for essential equipment while conserving fuel and limiting the resupply burden on exposed support teams.
