A materials science company for the grid.
We develop advanced materials and deployment technologies intended to improve the performance of existing electrical infrastructure without requiring it to be replaced. Our first application is wildfire resilience.
Upgrade the physical grid in place.
The grid was built over generations, and rebuilding every conductor will take decades and enormous capital. Kratos is developing a different approach: use advanced materials to change the electrical, thermal and environmental performance of infrastructure already in service.
Aligned with a broader grid-hardening need.
The U.S. Department of Energy identifies grid resilience, power-line hardening, fire-resistant technologies and wildfire prevention systems as important areas of transmission and distribution infrastructure investment. Kratos is independently developing technology relevant to this broader infrastructure challenge.
The problem sits at the intersection of several disciplines.
