Technical Overview
VELON-G™ is a breakthrough metamaterial canopy system combining graphene nanoplatelets with indium tin oxide (ITO) in a volumetric nanocomposite architecture. Unlike conventional surface treatments, VELON-G™ provides electromagnetic signature management while maintaining optical transparency for business aviation canopy applications.
The graphene-ITO nanocomposite achieves -13.3 dB attenuation at W-band frequencies (94.48 GHz) while preserving 92.5% optical transparency across the visible spectrum, enabling pilots to maintain full situational awareness.
Key Advantages
- Multi-spectral signature management (radar, infrared, visible)
- ISS/JAXA-Kibo space validated (Experiment ID 8071)
- Structural integration capability
- ITAR-free UK origin enabling direct export
Key Distinction
VELON-G™ is a volumetric metamaterial canopy—not a surface treatment. The technology is integrated throughout the canopy structure rather than applied as a surface layer. This fundamental difference enables superior electromagnetic performance while maintaining structural integrity and optical clarity.
