Signature control and electromagnetic hardening for defense and commercial platforms across air, land, and sea — manned and unmanned.
The Platforms domain covers mobile air, land, and sea platforms across defense and commercial markets — combat aircraft, ground vehicles, naval assets, unmanned systems, commercial aviation, commercial ground fleets, maritime, and rail. The GT Optics platform combines RF, IR, and radar signature management with electromagnetic hardening in a lightweight, conformable form factor that installs without the weight or drag of legacy stealth coatings.
Application areas within the Platforms — Air, Land & Sea domain — each with a defined industry problem and a defined GT Optics configuration.
Modern combat aircraft face expanding electromagnetic threat surfaces — radar detection, RF exploitation, HPM weapons, and EW kill chains — while every added pound of shielding erodes range, payload, and maneuverability.
Signature reduction and electromagnetic hardening in a lightweight, conformable form factor that installs on aircraft skins and control surfaces without imposing the weight penalty of legacy stealth coatings.
Ground and naval defense platforms rely on networked electronics, GPS, C5ISR, and remote-weapon systems vulnerable to RF exploitation, EW, and HPM threats — with limited access to depot-level shielding upgrades once deployed.
Applied to hull plates, turret sections, superstructure zones, and antenna zones to reduce RF signature and shield onboard electronics — deployable at manufacture, during scheduled availabilities, or at the depot.
Unmanned systems and loitering munitions are increasingly targeted by counter-UAS RF jamming, GPS denial, and HPM weapons — with strict weight budgets that make shielding a trade-off against range, endurance, and payload.
Ultra-lightweight configurations engineered for the weight envelope of unmanned systems — protecting flight controllers, autopilots, GPS receivers, and sensor payloads without meaningfully cutting endurance or payload.
Commercial aircraft operate through increasingly RF-dense airspace with growing risk from EMI, spectrum congestion, and inadvertent RF exposure — while every added pound pressures fuel burn, range, and payload economics.
Aviation-tolerant shielding that protects avionics, sensors, and cabin systems without meaningfully affecting fuel burn or payload.
Commercial trucking, transit fleets, merchant shipping, and rail networks depend on telematics, navigation, signaling, and control electronics exposed to EMI, RF congestion, and increasingly to physical-layer threats.
Configured for commercial mobility service life — protects telematics, navigation, bridge electronics, propulsion controls, rail signaling, and onboard systems across fleets, ships, and trains.
Micro-optical and multilayer surfaces engineered per platform signature profile and mission band. Factory-applied at the platform OEM or tier-one, depot-applicable during scheduled availabilities, or field-applicable at the unit level.
