Built to perform under pressure. We recently conducted our fourth inflatable habitat burst test and this time with a new feature, a penetration plate that could serve as a window or hatch. The result, a burst pressure of 267 psi, more than five times its design pressure, proving the strength and resilience of inflatable habitat technology that could support future astronauts on the Moon and beyond.

Picture this: It’s the middle of the night at a forward operating base. The perimeter is quiet...or so it seems. A coordinated swarm of small drones approaches, silent, precise and relentless—undetectable by traditional defenses. This is the operational reality forces face today. Integrated counter-UAS solutions like Sanctum™ are built to meet it head-on. Read how: https://lmt.co/4ogsxQo
