Infinite Composites, Inc.
Overview
Enabling vehicles to travel further, faster, or carry more payload by reducing the weight and increasing capacity of pressurized fuel storage tanks.
Problem
Increasing the capabilities of vehicles (satellites, hypersonics, UAVS, missile systems) by reducing the pressurized fuel storage weight, while providing more usable fuel storage space in the same footprint (or reducing the tank size).
Solution
Infinite Composites pressure vessels eliminate the metallic or plastic liner in composites overwrapped pressure vessels.
Field Validation
Customers under NDA. Tanks have been delivered for launch vehicles, lunar landers, torpedoes, satellites, & UAVs. Flight heritage in the categories of satellites, hypersonic aircraft, & hydrogen aircraft.
Technology Maturity
TRL 9- hypersonic flight, space flight propulsion TRL 7 - comfortable tanks TRL 6- cryogenic storage systems
Strategic Advantage
1 or 3 US companies that make this type of vessel. It's patented. Critical parts, such as specific material formulations, are confidential.
Go-To-Market Access
Contracts with tier 1, or below prime contractors. Been awarded & completed SBIRs with the Army, NASA, & NSF. Been awarded by AFWERX & received signed MOUs from various labs & airwings.
Dual-Use Potential
Technology started in commercial natural gas vehicles & ground fueling storage. We've contracted with Formula1, BAJA racing, & Disney.
Team
Matt Villarreal & Michael Tate co-founded the company & have run it for 15 years. Jared Cuneo, Principal Engineer, former Chief of Structures at Firefly Space, & worked at Virgin Galactic. The team is heavy (50%) engineering. Two direct competitors & numerous indirect competitors. Legacy indirect competitors include Northup Grumman & Raytheon.
Primary User
DevCom, Air Mobility Command, 375th AMW, 27 SOMXO, AFSOC, NasPax
User-Critical Problem
Missiles fly further/faster, UAVs fly longer & carry more payload, satellites stay in orbit longer.
