Anumá Aerospace Corporation, the leading pioneer in partial-vacuum lift (PVL) technology, today announced that it has been selected as one of 20 early-stage companies to participate in the 2024 National Security Innovation Network (NSIN) Vector program to advance its technology’s defense applications.
“Interest in Anuma’s patented PVL technology is growing as the implications of partial-vacuum
lift are understood by the market,” said Diana Little, Co-Founder and CEO of Anumá Aerospace.
“We’re thrilled by our acceptance into the NSIN Vector program and excited to work with the
DoD to accelerate our alignment with the government agencies that will benefit from our solutions.”
Anumá’s PVL technology replaces the need for helium in existing aerostat and airship programs, creating ultra-long endurance aircraft with on-board solar arrays and no need to land for refueling or refilling lifting gas. PVL allows for years-long medium-altitude platform system deployments but retains the ability to be upgraded when desired, unlike satellite systems.
This means Anumá is uniquely positioned to provide sustainable solutions for the DoD in
applications such as persistent, low-energy aerial platforms for:
- sensors
- communications
- intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR)
- border patrol
- missile defense
The NSIN is a United States Department of Defense (DoD) program office under the Defense
Innovation Unit dedicated to bringing together defense, academic, and entrepreneurial
innovators to solve national security problems in new ways. Its Vector program supports
companies in further developing their commercial innovations for the DoD. Over 10 weeks, the
participating companies work with subject matter experts to learn about raising capital,
understanding federal procurement, conducting market research, and receiving additional
resources to scale their solutions for DoD organizations. Anumá was selected from an applicant pool of more than 170.
