Performance When the Mission Depends on It

CPS Metal Matrix Composites deliver unmatched strength, thermal control, and reliability for aerospace and defense systems operating in the most demanding conditions.

HybridTech Armor®

Protecting US and allied troops through smart material design.

Metal Matrix Composites

AlMaxTM and AlSiC composites for structural, wear resistance, and thermal management applications.

Hermetic Packaging

Robust electronic housings for performance in the harshest environments.

Empowering next-generation aerospace and defense innovation with materials that perform where metals reach their limits.

At CPS Technologies, we partner with engineers and program leaders to replace legacy metals with advanced composites designed for the toughest missions. Our proprietary metal matrix composites deliver breakthrough thermal, mechanical and weight advantages that enable aerospace and defense systems to fly farther, last longer and perform reliably in extreme conditions.

From avionics housings that must survive 10,000 flight hours to armor solutions that must protect lives in unpredictable combat zones, CPS materials make the difference. When mission-critical means exactly that, we deliver.

“There is no greater honor to CPS than to be selected by our customers to provide products that directly protect the men and women in uniform who serve and defend our nation.”

HybridTech Armor®

In 2012, CPS introduced the next generation of armor solutions: HybridTech Armor®. This novel material can withstand multiple hits, offering protection comparable to traditional steel systems at a fraction of the weight.

HybridTech Armor® now protects sailors on U.S. Navy aircraft carriers, like the USS Abraham Lincoln.

While the protection and weight reduction opportunities are valued by customers, they are also drawn to the fact our armor is highly tailorable to their systems. Whether flooring for a helicopter, washers to protect bolts, or armor panels on aircraft carriers, CPS provides ballistic protection for military personnel regardless of situation.
