MARKET DEMAND

Materials development fails too often, takes too long, and costs too much.

Result: Market Bottleneck

Manufacturers focus on getting one new material to market.

Result: Chronic underinvestment in technologies to improve materials development processes

New technologies and a new business model are needed to lead defence materials discovery and capture the smart materials market.

OUR GOAL: BREAKING BOTTLENECKS IN A $58B+ DEFENCE MATERIALS MARKET

MARKET OPPORTUNITY

Historically, many defence materials have dual-use civilian applications.

Accelerating defence materials commercialization is a massive opportunity.

Defence materials development to meet surging demand is a critical high-value opportunity.  But commercialization has been challenging to operationalize.

Solution:
AI Powered Materials Development

Critical Defence Materials provide enhanced protection, increased functionality, and achieve top performance in their class.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE OPPORTUNITY

Patronus along with its parent company, Syniad Innovations, is using machine-learning for material development acceleration, designed to identify, optimize and rapidly accelerate production of novel materials.

  • Defence materials protect people & property. Most new discoveries have civilian applications.

  • Industrial materials target higher performance & advanced capabilities.

Artificial intelligence can digitally target specific material attributes such as weight reduction, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and high-temperature capability.

To date, most advancements in materials have been achieved through trial and error. With an AI-based approach, we aim to dramatically reduce R&D time and cost.
