Existing overhead electrical grid infrastructure
Why now

The existing grid must endure more.

Wildfire, extreme weather, aging assets and rising demand are making physical grid resilience a national infrastructure priority.

Kratos is developing an asset-level approach intended to complement existing grid-hardening methods.
