FibrX
FibrX solves the problem of hidden structural degradation—like corrosion and fatigue—by providing real-time fiber optic monitoring that prevents mission failures, reduces maintenance costs, and extends asset life across all domains
Why it mattersFibrX is poised to lead a paradigm shift in structural health monitoring (SHM) and corrosion detection. Our patented Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution harnesses the combined power of fiber optics, cloud computing, and AI technologies. Our mission is to eliminate failures in mission-critical infrastructure by providing real-time, continuous monitoring, predictive analytics, and 3D models. This enables non-invasive, proactive maintenance, ensuring the longevity, safety, and reliability of assets in industries such as aerospace, infrastructure, aviation, nuclear, defense, offshore wind energy, and oil and gas.
About
Problem
Critical assets across the military degrade silently from corrosion, fatigue, and thermal stress—causing unplanned failures, safety risks, and billions in maintenance costs due to a lack of real-time structural visibility.
Solution
FibrX provides real-time structural health monitoring using fiber optics and AI to detect corrosion, strain, and thermal anomalies before failure occurs.
Field Validation
Pre-field Technology Maturity (TRL): Currently at TRL 4 — validated in a lab environment with a full system prototype, and integration into relevant platforms scheduled for Q1 2026 field testing.
Strategic Advantage
Partially exclusive U.S. Navy license
Go-to-Market
Engaged through SBIR (NASA, AFWERX), FedTech, NAVSEA, and direct with defense primes and agencies via CRADA and pilot programs.
Dual-Use Potential
High-impact in energy (offshore wind, nuclear), aerospace (MRO), semiconductors (cleanroom monitoring), EVs, and infrastructure (bridges, water systems). Total addressable market exceeds $3.9 trillion, including $2.5T in global corrosion costs alone (NACE).
Team
FibrX is led by Kamel Greene, a former DOE national security contractor and deep tech founder, alongside Michael Cupples, a 30-year Raytheon veteran in 6DOF simulations and aerospace systems. The team includes talent from NASA, SAIC, MPOs, and top academic labs, with deep expertise in sensing, AI, and government infrastructure.
Primary User
Fleet maintenance leads, aerospace MRO teams, and sustainment commanders overseeing high-value, high-risk platforms.
