Technology & Products

Key Products

HANX drone (modular, NDAA-compliant 3D-printed drone for reconnaissance, attack, and logistics support)

Technological Advantage

Proprietary in-house development process for 3D-printed military drones, verified by NAVAIR interim flight clearance, enabling secure, on-demand production in expeditionary environments.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Reduces drone development lead times and costs by leveraging 3D printing for modular, NDAA-compliant designs, allowing Marines to quickly adapt platforms for reconnaissance or attack missions without supply chain vulnerabilities.

How They Differentiate

Focuses on end-to-end in-house development of 3D-printed defense applications (e.g., HANX drone) rather than selling printers or software, with direct integration into Marine Corps logistics for rapid deployment.
