Defense & Aerospace

Atomic-scale protection for mission-critical hardware.

Atomic Armor™ helps reinforce critical components at the atomic scale, improving durability, thermal stability, and long-term reliability in systems exposed to extreme environments. From high-G flight profiles to ISR platforms to next-generation weapons systems, Atomic Armor™ gives defense and aerospace programs stronger, lighter, and more resilient materials built for demanding missions.

CHALLENGES

The Limits Holding Mission-Critical Systems Back

  • 01

    ENVIRONMENTAL STRESS

    Extreme heat, cold, pressure, and vibration degrade materials and shorten operational life.

  • 02

    THERMAL INSTABILITY

    Uncontrolled heat transfer risks failure in avionics, propulsion, sensors, and power systems.

  • 03

    WEIGHT & FOOTPRINT

    Legacy materials demand heavier structures, reducing range, payload, and maneuverability.

  • 04

    SUPPLY DEPENDENCE

    Reliance on foreign or specialized materials delays procurement and increases strategic risk.

Solving the limits of mission-critical materials

HIGHER DURABILITY
LOWER WEIGHT
IMPROVED THERMAL STABILITY
GREATER SYSTEM LIFE
ENHANCED RELIABILITY
SECURE U.S. SUPPLY
Atomic Armor™ helps strengthen defense and aerospace components at the atomic scale, creating more durable surfaces, more stable thermal behavior, and more reliable long-term performance across aircraft, missiles, satellites, ISR platforms, and ground systems. With lighter structures and a growing U.S. manufacturing base, missions can gain increased endurance, reduced failure points, and enhanced survivability in harsh conditions.

Strengthened U.S. Supply Chain

FOR DEFENSE BATTERIES, WITH GROUP14

Forge Nano builds Group14’s SCC55® silicon-carbon material, coated with Atomic Armor™, into its own U.S.-made cells: a high-performance cell with a domestic, NDAA-compliant material supply chain.

  • U.S. Sourced: NDAA-compliant supply chain
  • Longer Life: High cycle life with ALD coating
  • Scaled Capacity: Silicon supplier with global scale

“Together, we’re giving customers a domestically sourced, high-performance cell they can integrate into their roadmaps today.”

-RICK LUEBBE, CEO AND CO-FOUNDER, GROUP14 TECHNOLOGIES

 

Proof In Action

Forge Nano Breaks Ground on “America’s Battery Gigafactory” to Strengthen U.S. Defense Supply Chains

PRESS RELEASE

The DOE-backed facility will expand to nearly 315,000 square feet, create more than 250 jobs and scale domestic battery manufacturing capacity to up to 3 GWh annually.
