WHY THE DoD BENEFITS

A microreactor like ZAPP eliminates the military’s most vulnerable logistics chain—fuel—by providing a long-duration power source that requires no resupply. It hardens mission infrastructure against cyber disruptions, grid outages, EMP events, and physical attack, ensuring that critical systems remain online in contested environments. By removing the need for continuous fuel transport and generator maintenance, it significantly reduces operational costs and logistical burdens over multi-year campaigns. At the same time, it delivers clean, quiet, persistent power that aligns with the military’s shift toward an electrified battlefield. This stable energy backbone directly supports JADC2, autonomous platforms, directed-energy systems, advanced sensors, and next-generation C5ISR capabilities.

Not to mention—ZAPP is ballistically resilient, engineered for deployment in active conflict zones. Send it to war.

U.S. ARMY – ENERGY DOMINANCE AT THE TACTICAL EDGE

• Continuous power for missile-defense radar and air-surveillance stations

• Independent energy for humanitarian missions and disaster response

U.S. AIR FORCE & SPACE FORCE – POWER FOR HIGH-TECH MISSIONS

Air and space operations require extreme reliability—for radar, satellites, mission planning, secure networks, and remote airfields. ZAPP provides a tamper-proof, meltdown-resistant power core that keeps Air Force missions operating anywhere on Earth.

Why ZAPP Works for the Air & Space Force

• Enables persistent radar, tracking, and early-warning systems

• Supports austere airfields where no grid exists

• Powers satellite comms, cybersecurity centers, and sensor arrays

• Runs continuously through arctic cold and desert heat

What ZAPP Enables

• Remote airbases for drones, bombers, and reconnaissance aircraft

• Ground support power for directed-energy weapons or high-draw systems

• Autonomous launch-tracking and telemetry stations

• Secure data-processing nodes for AI, cloud, and C2 systems

Facilities like Y-12, Oak Ridge, LANL, and other NNSA/DOE campuses rely on uninterrupted power to support national security missions, precision manufacturing, cyber operations, and critical infrastructure. Power outages—whether from storms, grid failures, or cyberattacks—can halt sensitive operations and create significant safety and security risks. A microreactor like ZAPP provides a hardened, independent power supply that operates for years without refueling, reducing operational costs and eliminating reliance on vulnerable grid connections or diesel backup systems.

Key Advantages

• Ensures 24/7 mission uptime for classified and high-risk operations

• Reduces vulnerability to grid outages and cyber threats

• Lowers fuel and generator maintenance costs

• Supports high-energy manufacturing, enriched material processes, and security systems

• Enhances overall national resilience and infrastructure stability

During hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes, ice storms, and extreme cold events, communities and emergency agencies often lose access to both power and heat—sometimes for days or weeks. In these moments, electricity alone is not enough. Reliable heat, hot water, and sustained power become life-critical.

ZAPP provides a long-duration, fuel-free source of continuous power and thermal energy, enabling uninterrupted electricity, unlimited hot water, and dependable heating throughout the entire response and recovery period. Pre-staged or rapidly deployed, ZAPP can sustain hospitals, shelters, water treatment facilities, command centers, and communications infrastructure—especially in remote or inhospitable environments where cold exposure, frozen systems, and fuel shortages threaten lives. All without fuel convoys or fragile grid dependencies.

Key Advantages

• Delivers continuous power and heat when the grid is destroyed or inaccessible

• Provides unlimited hot water and reliable heating for hospitals, shelters, medical operations, etc.

• Powers emergency shelters, first responder bases, hospitals, homes, and communications

• Eliminates fuel delivery challenges during blocked-road conditions

• Supports long-duration relief operations without downtime

• Reduces FEMA, utility, and state emergency response costs

Breakthrough research demands power systems that never stop. Scientific facilities, test ranges, autonomous experiments, and long-duration monitoring stations often operate far from population centers where the grid is weak, unstable, or nonexistent. Many of these environments cannot tolerate power interruptions — shutting down an experiment may destroy years of data, contaminate a sample, damage sensitive equipment, or halt mission-critical testing. ZAPP provides a stable, fuel-free, multi-year power source that enables continuous R&D operations in the most remote and challenging environments on Earth. Its mobility and resilience allow researchers to establish permanent or semi-permanent sites anywhere, without relying on diesel, solar limitations, or fragile infrastructure.

SEND ZAPP TO THE MOON!

Establishing a permanent presence on the Moon requires a power source that can survive the extreme cold, long nights, dust, radiation, and isolation of the lunar environment. ZAPP’s sealed, autonomous microreactor design makes it one of the few technologies capable of delivering steady, continuous power for years without refueling. Its compact size allows it to be delivered by commercial launch vehicles and lunar landers, and once on the surface, it can be activated remotely to support habitats, robotics, science missions, and industrial operations that solar or battery systems cannot sustain.
