HPM resilience and physical-layer hardening for the utility infrastructure that underlies modern life — power, water, fuel, telecommunications, and continuity of operations.
The Critical Infrastructure domain covers the power, water, fuel, and communications systems that modern life depends on — substation cabinets, control system enclosures, pipeline instrumentation, telecom facilities, and continuity-of-operations infrastructure. The GT Optics platform delivers HPM resilience and physical-layer hardening across geographically distributed sites with a single qualified material and a repeatable installation approach.
Application areas within the Critical Infrastructure domain — each with a defined industry problem and a defined GT Optics configuration.
Electric power substations and distribution control systems face increasing exposure to HPM weapons, adversary RF exploitation, and electromagnetic threats that can trigger cascading outages — with recovery timelines measured in months, not hours.
Applied to substation control cabinets, protective relaying enclosures, and SCADA infrastructure to provide HPM resilience and RF shielding — hardens the physical layer of the grid without full facility rebuild.
Water utilities operate distributed control systems across treatment plants, pump stations, and reservoirs — infrastructure increasingly targeted by cyber, physical, and electromagnetic attack vectors that could interrupt water supply to millions of people.
Protects water and wastewater control cabinets, SCADA equipment, and telemetry infrastructure with a shielding wrap engineered for utility field conditions.
Fuel pipelines, terminals, and refining facilities rely on distributed control systems and instrumentation exposed to weather, adversary access, and EM threats — with limited tolerance for control-system failure and long recovery times if attacked.
Hardens the control-system enclosures, instrumentation cabinets, and telemetry equipment of fuel infrastructure against HPM and RF threats.
Telecommunications backhaul, cell-site electronics, and long-haul networking equipment are exposed to RF interference, HPM threats, and physical-layer attacks that can degrade or disable coverage across regions.
Shields telecom equipment cabinets, backhaul electronics, and network operations infrastructure with a lightweight film that protects the electromagnetic envelope of the communications layer.
Backup power, UPS systems, and continuity-of-operations infrastructure are precisely the systems that must survive the electromagnetic event that took down primary power — yet often are not themselves electromagnetically hardened.
Protects backup power controls, UPS equipment, generator control panels, and continuity-of-operations electronics with shielding engineered to survive the event that triggered the outage.
Enclosure-interior film for substation cabinets and control systems, weatherable coating for outdoor equipment, and modular application methods that support program-scale rollout across geographically distributed sites.
