DARPA program manager tours all three facilities
Design and simulation at Cortex Dynamix, instrumented testing at UT Arlington, and composite manufacturing at UTARI, walked end to end in a single visit.

Design and simulation at Cortex Dynamix, instrumented testing at UT Arlington, and composite manufacturing at UTARI, walked end to end in a single visit.

William Taylor (UTA undergrad) built a research database of cellular structure performance data, then translated it into finite element models used to screen candidate geometries.

Feedback across several active duty service members feeds our hierarchy of design requirements, providing an edge in the next generation role-specific blast technology.

Active-duty input on fieldability and robustness shapes how Cortex designs for lightweight, durable, and performance driven solutions.
