Constant light

An American start-up challenging how defense and space hardware gets built. We build it, inspect it and qualify it in America, built to work every time it is asked.

Built for what defense is buying now

Four missions, one team. We build, inspect and qualify the hardware they run on, at the pace the mission demands.

  • An interceptor leaving a ship's launcher at night in a column of fire

    Missile defense and hypersonics

    Seeker windows, domes and tracking optics for interceptors, built to your drawing and inspected to your numbers.

  • An optical communications module open for integration in a cleanroom

    Space sensors and laser links

    Telescope and laser terminal optics, mounts and power boards for the constellations going up now.

  • The beam director of a high-energy laser test system

    Directed energy and counter-drone

    Beam director optics, and the EO/IR optics in the sensors that find the drone first.

  • A tactical microgrid beside field shelters

    Remote sites

    CC-100 keeps a site's mission running when the power or the link drops.

How we operate

  1. Say what is true

    Built, tested or target: we say which, on every page and every quote.

  2. One shop, start to finish

    One program builds, inspects and qualifies the part, and your question reaches the person doing the work.

  3. Controlled by design

    U.S.-owned and ITAR registered. Controlled positions are open to U.S. persons, and technical data moves only through a channel agreed with you.

The Moon, second

Four programs build what a permanent presence on the Moon will run on: power through the night, links beyond line of sight, power beaming and a market price. They are in development, and they grow on the work we win on Earth, not ahead of it.

Government and program engagement

Defense and space requirements are written and funded here. Our government work is run from Washington, close to the program offices and contracting officers who buy this work.
