Advanced thin-film engineering and additive electronics manufacturing for Unmanned Systems delivering mission-critical capabilities where speed, weight, and sovereignty determine success
The United States cannot afford strategic dependencies on foreign manufacturing for defense-critical electronics, authentication systems, and advanced materials.
Every capability we develop—from transparent antennas to quantum-grade security tags—is designed and manufactured domestically using U.S.-developed materials and patent-protected processes.
This isn't just advanced technology; it's national security architecture built layer by layer.
Breakthrough Thin-Film Capabilities from the Lab to Production
Standard Industries combines and transforms novel materials into breakthrough thin-film capabilities that would otherwise be unattainable. Through precision layer-by-layer additive manufacturing, we deliver photonics, thermal management, RF electromagnetics, advanced sensors, and flexible hybrid electronics.

Up to 98% Weight Reduction equals more payload, less drag, and faster response times.
Our Unmannned Platform solutions are smaller, lighter, and more powerful—delivering radical reductions in Size, Weight, and Power without performance compromise. Where traditional systems fail under flex, extreme temperatures, or conformal integration demands, our thin-film technologies thrive.
Scalable coverage: paper-thin arrays spanning meters.
Contested environments demand communications that adversaries can't detect, intercept, or jam. Our transparentconformal antennas deliver multi-band transmission from HF through Ka-band frequencies with design-to-prototype cycles measured in hours, not months. Deployable in forward environments, our antennas can be rapidly customized for mission-specific frequency requirements, geometries, and platform integration—enabling field adaptation at the speed of operational need.
Produce mission-ready components in days, not months.
We accelerate time-to-field through domestic additive manufacturing, enabling rapid prototyping, mission-specific customization, and field modifications impossible with traditional supply chains.
Enabling the Next Generation of Autonomous Operations
Unmanned aerial, ground, and maritime systems demand capabilities that don't yet exist at their scale: transparent conformal antennas for stealth communications, printed electromagnetic surfaces for distributed jamming, ultra-lightweight power harnesses and flexible circuits that reduce airframe weight by 98%, and adaptive thermal management for electronics in extreme environments. Standard Industries adapts field-proven thin‑film systems from aerospace and defense to deliver rugged, lightweight solutions for the unmanned domain.
Physics-Based Authentication for an Uncertain World
When failure isn't an option—protecting classified data, high-value pharmaceuticals, defense electronics, and critical infrastructure—traditional security falls short against adaptive threats. Standard Industries delivers quantum-grade security through printed photonic authentication systems that generate dynamic, per-event cryptographic keys from non-linear optical media. Unlike RFID tags that rely on hackable cloud databases, our LED Security Technology creates physically unclonable authentication that exists only at the moment of verification.
Multidisciplinary team uniting materials science, thin-film deposition, RF engineering, photonics, and system integration. Patent-protected processes translate advanced materials into differentiated products.
Rapid iteration via domestic additive manufacturing enables mission-specific customization impossible with traditional fabrication. From concept to qualified builds in days or weeks, not years.
Production at any scale—from rapid prototyping to high-volume runs—delivered through in-house printing capabilities, strategic partnerships, or mobile platforms.
40+ years of combined thin-film domain expertise to the most critical phase: translating advanced technology into mission-ready systems. Our technologies are delivered not as prototypes, but as integrated, field-validated capabilities.
Deployable, containerized additive manufacturing platforms that bring sovereign electronics production to the point of need.
Our R2R systems enable secure chain-of-custody manufacturing—from raw materials to mission-ready components—without exposing sensitive designs or capabilities to foreign supply chains.
