Where Physics Goes to Work.

A revolutionary approach to power conversion. The Kiowa Class power stage eliminates the conventional power module entirely - a proprietary direct-die architecture delivering unprecedented power density, thermal performance, and reliability in a fraction of the envelope.

Engineered from day one for high-shock, high-temperature, mission-critical duty cycles. A single scalable platform serving motorsports, defense, aerospace, and advanced mobility programs. Details available to qualified partners under NDA.

Why Module-Less

The Problem

Conventional power modules introduce a thermal resistance stack between die and coolant - substrate, solder, thermal interface material, baseplate. Each layer adds °C/W. At high power density, the module becomes the bottleneck, not the device. Switching frequency is capped. Operating temperature is limited. Size is fixed by packaging geometry.

The Kiowa Class

The Kiowa Class power stage eliminates the module entirely. Silicon carbide die mount directly to a precision-machined cold plate, removing multiple layers of thermal resistance and enabling sustained 190°C junction temperature. Smaller, lighter, and with no foreign-sourced module in the power path - NDAA compliant by architecture, not by paperwork.

Supply Chain

NDAA Ready

→ Compliant by design

No foreign-sourced power modules in the critical path. NDAA compliance is a product of the architecture - not an afterthought applied to a commodity bill of materials.

Core Capabilities

01

Rugged by Design

Designed from first principles for high-shock, high-temperature, mission-critical environments. No derating for benign conditions - full-rated performance in the field.

02

Module-less SiC

Eliminates the conventional power module entirely. Direct-die architecture delivers a shorter thermal path, smaller envelope, lower mass, and a supply chain with no foreign-sourced critical components.

03

Scalable Platform

Common hardware and software architecture across voltage classes and program types. One platform from first prototype to production volume - qualification work carries forward.

04

Rapid Integration

NDA-backed partner support from first contact. Engineering resources aligned to your program schedule and timeline from day one - not after a six-month sales cycle.
