Technologies-based Companies

1. Wearables
   Getting reliable and up-to-date information on the battlefield is crucial and being able to monitor a soldier’s condition can prevent avoidable injuries. Both needs can be satisfied via wearables, such as heads-up-displays and smart tattoos that monitor vital signs.
2. Additive Manufacturing
   3D printing is becoming ever more ubiquitous in the aerospace industry, where new designs enable lighter and stronger aircraft. Several companies have already begun printing parts using recently approved materials, and the industry will likely see more significant changes as new materials and more efficient methods become available.
3. Specialized Imaging
   From autonomous aircraft to Terahertz (THz) imaging, many industries can benefit from advanced visual imaging technology. Whether it’s military or security personnel identifying concealed weapons, or advanced flight systems to assist human or autonomous pilots, the technology is finding its way into a range of applications.
4. Battery Technology
   Battery technology is always improving. These high capacity batteries together with reliable control systems are being utilized in defense and aerospace applications as systems backups for a variety of aircraft, including the F-35 fighter and both Boeing and Airbus jets.
5. Cloud Computing / Cybersecurity, AI and IoT
   Potential applications in the defense industry range from integrating logistics into wearable tech to analyzing big data of operations around the world. In aerospace, it gives the ability to connect every aircraft currently flying, expanding existing satellite systems and GPS or having up to date and relevant flight information or fuselage fatigue, cloud computing can also benefit the intensive simulation work necessary for aerospace design and testing. Also, the rise of cloud computing and connected technology are also driving developments in cybersecurity, AI, and IoT which cuts across both aerospace and defense.
