Metaktik
Metaktik develops ultra-lightweight metasurface thin-film antennas that replace heavy, rigid radar and communication systems across defense, aerospace, maritime, and telecommunications applications. The antennas are highly scalable from 5x5 cm to 200x200 cm, support flexible or rigid configurations, and can be camouflaged for stealth operations. The technology enables extended operational endurance for unmanned aerial systems, ground vehicles, and surface vessels while supporting communication, radar, decoy, and jamming functions.

Problem
Traditional radar and communication antenna systems are heavy, rigid, and bulky, limiting their integration into modern operational platforms such as unmanned aerial vehicles, ground vehicles, and surface vessels. This weight and rigidity constrain operational endurance, portability for foot patrols, and the ability to deploy advanced communication capabilities in contested environments.
Solution
Metaktik provides ultra-lightweight metasurface thin-film antenna solutions that dramatically reduce the weight of communication and radar systems while maintaining or improving signal integrity. The antennas are available in flexible and rigid configurations, ranging from compact 5x5 cm units to expansive 200x200 cm surfaces, and can be integrated seamlessly into nearly any platform. The core technology relies on advanced metasurface textures that enable full control of antenna radiation pattern characteristics. The antennas can be encased for weather protection and camouflaged to blend into operational environments, with energy-efficient operation minimizing heat signatures for stealth applications.
Target Audience
Primary customers are defense and security organizations, aerospace and maritime operators, and telecommunications providers requiring lightweight, high-performance antenna systems for unmanned platforms, counter-UAS radar systems, and portable tactical communication nodes.
