FibrX

Overview

Problem Critical assets across the military degrade silently from corrosion, fatigue, and thermal stress—causing unplanned failures, safety risks, and billions in maintenance costs due to a lack of real-time structural visibility.

Solution FibrX provides real-time structural health monitoring using fiber optics and AI to detect corrosion, strain, and thermal anomalies before failure occurs.

Field Validation Pre-field

Technology Maturity (TRL) Currently at TRL 4 — validated in a lab environment with a full system prototype, and integration into relevant platforms scheduled for Q1 2026 field testing.

Strategic Advantage Partially exclusive U.S. Navy license

Go-to-Market Access Engaged through SBIR (NASA, AFWERX), FedTech, NAVSEA, and direct with defense primes and agencies via CRADA and pilot programs.

Dual-Use Potential High-impact in energy (offshore wind, nuclear), aerospace (MRO), semiconductors (cleanroom monitoring), EVs, and infrastructure (bridges, water systems). Total addressable market exceeds $3.9 trillion, including $2.5T in global corrosion costs alone (NACE).

Team FibrX is led by Kamel Greene, a former DOE national security contractor and deep tech founder, alongside Michael Cupples, a 30-year Raytheon veteran in 6DOF simulations and aerospace systems. The team includes talent from NASA, SAIC, MPOs, and top academic labs, with deep expertise in sensing, AI, and government infrastructure.

Competitive Landscape Luna Innovations offers expensive, bulky systems; startups focus on niche sensor types. FibrX delivers a lightweight, low-SWaP, cloud-ready solution with multi-domain deployment flexibility.

Primary User Fleet maintenance leads, aerospace MRO teams, and sustainment commanders overseeing high-value, high-risk platforms.

User-Critical Problem They can’t see structural failures coming—leading to mission delays, asset loss, and safety risks.
