DEFENCE AND GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS

​

Orhont Magnetics actively develops advanced propulsion and electromechanical technologies through government-funded research and development programs. Our work focuses on innovative electric machines, integrated propulsion systems, power electronics, thermal management technologies, and advanced energy solutions for defense and aerospace applications.

Through competitive Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs, Orhont collaborates with government agencies, research institutions, and industry partners to mature novel technologies from concept through prototype demonstration.

​

Current Programs:

​

U.S. Navy SBIR Phase II

Advanced Electric Propulsion Technologies

Orhont is currently executing a Phase II SBIR program focused on the development, modeling, manufacturing, and experimental validation of advanced electric machine technologies for next-generation naval applications. The effort includes the design and testing of both conventional and novel motor architectures, integrated power electronics, and propulsion system technologies.
