Kyneon creates advanced metamaterials that manipulate electromagnetic waves at the point of surface interaction, enabling precise absorption, deflection, phase shifting, or filtering beyond conventional methods. These materials are used to protect critical systems—air, space, maritime, and ground platforms—by preventing signal detection and ensuring operational sovereignty in contested electromagnetic environments.

Problem
Electromagnetic emissions from critical systems can be intercepted, located, and exploited by adversaries, creating a vulnerability that compromises operational security across air, space, maritime, and ground platforms.
Solution
Kyneon engineers bespoke metamaterials that act at the interface where electromagnetic waves meet a surface, providing precise control over signal absorption, deflection, frequency shifting, and filtering. By embedding these materials onto antennas, radomes, and other radiating structures, the company eliminates unintended emissions at the source rather than relying on downstream shielding or signal processing. The approach leverages engineered sub‑wavelength structures to achieve electromagnetic behavior unattainable with conventional materials, delivering a strategic layer of electromagnetic sovereignty for high‑value assets.
Target Audience
Primary customers are defense and aerospace organizations, satellite operators, naval vessels, and critical infrastructure providers that require protection of their electromagnetic signatures.
