Antares has been awarded 3 Phase 2 SBIR awards with the U.S. Air Force to accelerate the development of their microreactor, designed to power critical infrastructure and capabilities both terrestrial and in space. 

Jordan Bramble, Antares’ Co-Founder and CEO, reinforced the criticality of their microreactor’s design choices to ensuring energy resilience in the enduring protection of U.S. assets: “The operational risk our national infrastructure and capabilities, at home and overseas, accept right now can be revolutionized by the use of resilient, automated, and sustainable microreactors.”

In continued collaboration with the U.S. Air Force, including with AFWERX, Antares will accelerate the adoption of scalable and modular kilowatt-class microreactors to address energy resilience gaps.
