Question
What is AEGIS used for?
AEGIS is Kronos's defense-oriented fusion generator — resilient, islandable power for mission-critical and defense applications, on the same architecture as MetroVolt.
AEGIS applies the same physics and engineering as MetroVolt to the attributes defense users value — firmness, resilience, and independence from fuel logistics. See the AEGIS concept page and why fusion is valuable for defense.
Questions & answers
What is AEGIS?
AEGIS is the defense-oriented member of the Kronos product line — a fusion generator engineered for resilient, islandable power in demanding settings, built on the same S.M.A.R.T. architecture as the commercial MetroVolt.
What would it be used for?
Firm, independent power for installations and missions where fuel logistics, grid reliance, or weather dependence are liabilities — providing energy security without fuel convoys. Its design tiers target a roughly 651–894 MWe class.
Is it a separate machine from MetroVolt?
It's a variant, not a separate technology. Sharing one validated architecture means development for the commercial and defense lines reinforces each other. Kronos develops the defense line through strategic partnerships rather than open solicitation.
