Problem
The U.S. defense industry faces a manufacturing constraint in energetics production due to outdated facilities, reliance on foreign suppliers, and hazardous manual processes. This results in safety risks for workers, potential supply chain vulnerabilities, and an inability to quickly scale production in response to global events. The dangerous nature of the work also contributes to a brain drain, making it difficult to attract and retain skilled workers.
Solution
Deterrence is developing advanced autonomous manufacturing systems for critical energetic components, specifically primers, to bolster America's defense capabilities and reduce reliance on foreign suppliers. The company's approach focuses on automating the entire production process, from raw materials to finished products, to ensure higher quality standards and increased safety. By deploying intelligent automation with computer vision and adaptive software, Deterrence aims to replicate human dexterity with robotic precision and optimize the energetic manufacturing process from chemistry to equipment fabrication. This enables faster and safer energetics production, strengthening the U.S. defense industrial base and preventing global conflict.
Target Audience
The primary customers are the U.S. Department of Defense and allied countries requiring a secure and reliable supply of energetics for weapon systems.
