A deep-tech company for physical grid resilience.

Kratos Materials Technologies is developing proprietary materials and robotic deployment systems for the power grid. Our initial focus is wildfire hardening of existing overhead infrastructure.

Mission

Develop new tools that help utilities harden critical infrastructure already in service.

Vision

Make advanced materials and robotic deployment practical components of physical grid resilience.
