About Core Defenses

At Core Defenses, we are a technology-driven small business specializing in advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity solutions for high-reliability industries, including nuclear energy. Our mission is to bridge the gap between calculational modeling and real-world decision-making by delivering scalable, explainable, and regulatory-compliant technologies. With expertise in physics-based modeling, uncertainty quantification, and AI/ML-driven predictive intelligence, we develop cutting-edge software solutions that enhance operational safety, performance, and security.

We believe our products embody our commitment to the goal of energy resilience—the strategic approach to anticipate, absorb, adapt to, and rapidly recover from severe disruptions. Since our founding, we have raised over $5M to develop our products, using a combination of non-dilutive grants, pilot projects, and revenue from our extensive network of customers and collaborators including national laboratories, nuclear fuel vendors, and federal agencies. We are also advised by a team of business and technical experts from industry and academia, who facilitate our breakthroughs and expand our outreach into the broader energy sector.
