When people think of next generation weapons, they often picture attack aircraft, hypersonic missiles, submarines, and stealth bombers. These represent America’s sword on the battlefield. They are critical to power projection, but only represent part of the equation. The other, equally important piece is America’s shield, or our ability to protect ourselves from attacks. Advanced radar serves as our eyes on the ground, in the air, at sea, and in space.
It’s pretty simple. If you can’t see it, you can’t shoot it.
Advanced radar is vital to American deterrence and our adversaries know this. Chinese and Russian military doctrine is to first render U.S. forces 'deaf, dumb, and blind' by targeting these systems.
Today’s radar systems were not designed for small drones, hypersonics, stealth, and precision anti-radar missiles. They were designed to track large missiles and aircraft with high heat signatures. If the Ukraine war has taught us anything, it’s that we’re not ready.
CHAOS is building advanced sensing and radar capabilities for the 21st century. Their systems are highly mobile, distributed, have longer range, and significantly higher fidelity than our current arsenal.
John T., Bo Marr, PhD, Gavin Hood, Brett Cummings, Will Hurd, and the rest of the CHAOS Industries team continue to blow us away with their rapid progress. We are grateful to partner with Accel and 8VC to support CHAOS in their mission to build America’s most critical technologies.
