Our take
In the modern world, defence industries must meet ever-evolving threats through new technologies, meaning that forward-thinking is the crux of battling sophisticated threats. CHAOS Industries consists of engineers and researchers building the next generation of defence and critical industry technologies.
Its products to date include the CHAOS Coherent Distributed Network, a time synchronicity platform, and HYDRA that facilitates land, sea and air-based detection and communications. Easy to integrate into existing defence systems, HYDRA can be deployed into challenging warfare environments - providing unique solutions for US defence industries.
In the face of a highly complex threat landscape, it’s unsurprising that CHAOS has received considerable funding. This will support the company’s commercial growth and product development. It’s also hired a former congressman and ex-CIA veteran as its Chief Strategy Officer, exemplifying its alignment with key defence sectors in the US.
