The Cost of Energy Uncertainty
What happens when you can't trust your energy systems to deliver?
Supply Chain is a National Security Threat Vector
Recent geopolitical events—including the 2024 Lebanon communications device attacks—demonstrated that adversarial supply chain compromise of battery-powered systems is a credible national security threat. For military UAVs, UUVs, and other unmanned systems, verifying battery provenance and integrity is mission-critical.
The Requirement: Multi-layered verification that batteries are authentic, unmodified, and safe to deploy in theater.
Missions Abort or Fail
The ISR platform loses power over hostile territory. The search and rescue mission turns back. The special operations extraction is delayed. When energy fails, the entire mission capability collapses—regardless of how advanced the platform is.
Assets Grounded
How many of your platforms are unavailable right now because commanders can't trust their energy state? Each grounded asset is lost capability, reduced operational tempo, and degraded readiness when you need it most.
Programs Delayed
Your eVTOL certification timeline extends indefinitely. Your UAV fleet deployment slips another quarter. Your platform promises 500km range but inconsistent energy performance prevents validation. Program success blocked by energy uncertainty.
Security Compromised
Adversaries don't need to shoot down your aircraft if they can compromise the energy system through the supply chain. Energy failure over hostile territory isn't just a reliability issue—it's a national security threat vector.

Multi-Layered Supply Chain Security Verification
Our platform enables your team to implement defense-grade battery authentication and quality assurance workflows
Physical Inspection & Documentation
- X-ray/CT scan image archival linked to battery S/N for forensic analysis
- Ultrasonic inspection results and dimensional verification
- Inspector identity & timestamp for accountability and OPSEC audit
- Anomaly flagging for batteries requiring additional scrutiny
- Auto-generated inspection procedures (PDF) standardized for technicians
Detects: Physical tampering, foreign objects, structural modifications
Mass & Dimensional Verification
- Mass measurement vs. specification with statistical tolerance analysis
- Automated pass/fail based on acceptable variance (typically ±2%)
- Batch consistency tracking across suppliers and lot codes
- Outlier detection using statistical process control methods
While sophisticated adversaries may match weight targets, this layer catches unsophisticated tampering and wrong components. Combined with electrochemical fingerprinting, it forces multi-vector attack complexity.
Detects: Gross anomalies, component substitution, weight drift
Electrochemical Performance Fingerprinting
- 100% formation testing of every battery with MIL-STD protocols
- Supplier baseline comparison against authenticated reference cells
- Automated anomaly detection for performance outliers
- Statistical batch analysis to detect substitution or tampering patterns
- dQ/dV signature matching for chemistry verification (NMC vs NCA vs LFP)
- Impedance spectroscopy (optional) for internal construction verification
Detects: Performance anomalies, chemistry mismatches, unusual electrochemical behavior
Chain of Custody & Traceability
- Complete audit trail from supplier delivery through depot-level fielding
- Inspection data linking (X-rays, mass, test results) to individual S/N
- Inspector accountability tracking for OPSEC and security clearance audits
- Forensic capability if supply chain compromise is discovered post-deployment
- DFARS-compliant documentation for contractor traceability requirements
Provides: Evidence management, accountability, compliance documentation
What This Multi-Layered Defense Detects
- Physical tampering via X-ray/CT analysis
- Weight anomalies indicating component substitution
- Batteries with incorrect electrochemical signatures
- Batch-to-batch inconsistencies suggesting different sourcing
- Performance outliers warranting investigation
- Chain of custody gaps or handling irregularities
- Supplier quality drift or unauthorized sourcing
- Statistical anomalies across verification layers
- Counterfeit cells with incorrect chemistry or capacity
- Adversarial supply chain compromise indicators
Defense-Grade Approach: No single verification layer is sufficient. Attackers must defeat physical inspection, mass verification, AND electrochemical fingerprinting simultaneously—exponentially increasing detection probability and adversarial cost.

What Would This Mean for Your Program?
More Mission-Ready Assets
What if you could deploy more of your fleet?
Imagine knowing the exact energy state of every asset. No more grounding platforms because "we're not sure about the battery." Energy confidence translates directly to available capability.
How many additional mission-ready platforms would that give you?
Faster Time to Capability
What if energy wasn't delaying your program?
Your eVTOL certification moves forward with consistent performance data. Your fleet deployment stays on schedule. Your dual-use transition from commercial to military proceeds without energy qualification delays.
What's the value of delivering capability on time?
Mission Success Assurance
What if energy failure wasn't a mission risk?
Every platform delivers its rated range. Performance is consistent across the mission envelope. Commanders trust the capability. Adversaries can't compromise energy systems through supply chain attacks.
What's the cost of a single mission failure?
Consider a 200-Platform UAV Fleet
The Problem Today
Significant portion of fleet grounded due to energy uncertainty
Missions delayed or aborted due to performance questions
Qualification timelines stretched by inconsistent energy data
What If You Eliminated Energy Uncertainty?
Every asset's energy state validated and known
Mission planning based on confidence, not guesswork
Deployment timelines driven by capability, not energy questions
Your Answer
How many more assets could you deploy? How many missions could you execute? How much faster could you deliver capability?
The answer depends on your current energy uncertainty.
Frequently Asked Questions - Defense Programs
Q: What does CMMC Level 1 certification mean for defense programs?
A: CMMC Level 1 certification demonstrates that Micantis implements required cybersecurity practices to protect Federal Contract Information (FCI). This qualifies us for DoD contracts and subcontracts requiring CMMC Level 1, ensuring that sensitive program data and contractor information is properly safeguarded per NIST SP 800-171 requirements.
Q: How does the Azure Government deployment model work?
A: We deploy Micantis into YOUR Azure Government cloud tenant (supporting DoD IL4/IL5 workloads), meaning all data remains under your operational control. You get the benefits of our CMMC Level 1 compliant software deployed within your CMMC Level 2 capable infrastructure. This architecture gives you full control over ITAR, CUI, and program-specific security requirements while leveraging our battery testing platform.
Q: What about ITAR and export-controlled data?
A: Since our deployment model puts the platform in YOUR Azure Government tenant under YOUR operational control, you maintain responsibility and authority for ITAR compliance. Battery test data (capacity, voltage, impedance) is typically unclassified, but when deployed in your tenant, you control access, classification, and export controls according to your program requirements.
Q: What battery chemistries are supported for defense unmanned systems?
A: All major Li-ion chemistries used in military applications: NMC (high energy density for UAVs), LFP (safety-critical applications), NCA (high specific energy), LTO (extreme temperature and fast charge), and lithium-primary chemistries. We also support custom/developmental chemistries for SBIR/STTR programs.
Q: How long does implementation take for a defense program?
A: Typical timeline:
- Weeks 1-2: Program kickoff, security protocols, data integration
- Weeks 3-4: Test protocol customization (MIL-STD, DO-311A, etc.)
- Weeks 5-6: Baseline testing and supplier fingerprinting
- Week 7+: Production deployment and continuous monitoring
For urgent operational needs, expedited deployment is available.
Q: Can Micantis integrate with government test labs and depot facilities?
A: Yes. We integrate with existing test equipment (Arbin, Maccor, Bitrode, etc.) at government labs, contractor facilities, and depot-level maintenance operations. Data can remain on-premise (private cloud deployment) or use our secure cloud infrastructure depending on program requirements.
Q: What's the difference between commercial and defense platform pages?
A: Our Commercial Drone QC page focuses on warranty cost reduction, fleet uptime, and supplier qualification for commercial operators. This Defense page addresses supply chain security, CMMC compliance and Azure Government (IL4/IL5) deployment architecture, mission readiness, and DoD-specific requirements across UAV, UUV, UGV, and USV platforms.
Q: Are you set up as a prime contractor or subcontractor?
A: We're structured to work as a subcontractor supporting prime defense contractors on major unmanned systems programs, as well as direct sales to DoD end-users and government labs. We're registered in SAM.gov and hold a CAGE code for procurement identification. We're open to both contract vehicles and direct procurement arrangements.
