Strategic Risk Assessment: Has The U.S. Lost Control of The Defense Optics Market?

 The U.S. military’s dependence on foreign-made optical components—especially those sourced from China—poses an urgent threat to national security, operational readiness, and long-term technological leadership. Over 90% of optical glass used in defense systems comes from adversarial supply chains, leaving critical systems like night vision, drones, and targeting platforms vulnerable to sabotage, obsolescence, and disruption. Peak Nano’s breakthrough Layered Gradient-Index (LGRIN) technology offers a secure, U.S.-based alternative that eliminates reliance on foreign materials, enhances performance, and fortifies the defense supply chain. Engineered with AI-driven design tools and advanced manufacturing, LGRIN optics represent not just innovation, but a strategic imperative.
