via Business Wire

Addition to the marketplace satisfies competition requirements and enables rapid acquisition of CHAOS systems across U.S. and NATO commands

CHAOS Industries, the defense technology company building Coherent Distributed Networks (CDN™) systems that give warfighters time to act against border and autonomous threats, today announced its addition to the U.S. Army's Global Tactical Edge Acquisition Directorate (G‑TEAD) Marketplace following its participation in Project Flytrap 4.5 in Putlos, Germany. The G‑TEAD Marketplace enables any Army Service Component Command and NATO partners to rapidly acquire emerging technologies and capabilities.

Project Flytrap 4.5 brought together U.S. soldiers and NATO partners in Germany to test a range of low‑cost, portable sensors and shooters designed to counter unmanned aerial systems and strengthen NATO's Eastern Flank Deterrence Line posture. The systems showcased during the event were evaluated and tested through a competitive evaluation process focused on quickly identifying solutions that can be deployed at the tactical edge.

“We applaud the Army in creating a marketplace to allow ASCCs to quickly acquire emerging technology," said John Tenet, co-founder and CEO of CHAOS Industries. “The addition to the G‑TEAD Marketplace represents a significant step forward in making our Coherent Distributed Networks capabilities available to commanders across the theater who need them, and we look forward to working with the Army and our NATO partners throughout 2026 and beyond.”

CHAOS's addition to the G‑TEAD Marketplace reflects the Army's assessment of the company's expeditionary sensing architecture and stay‑behind capabilities, including its VANQUISH™ distributed early‑warning radar. VANQUISH™ provides low‑SWaP, short‑ to mid‑range detection and tracking of unmanned aerial systems, missiles, and aircraft. This Coherent Distributed Networks (CDN™)‑enabled system gives air defenders more options to detect, track, and respond to unmanned aerial systems while complementing existing command‑and‑control and effector architectures.

CHAOS will support continued Army experimentation with a VANQUISH™ system in 2026, providing on‑site training, integration support, and rapid iteration in response to operator feedback. This forward presence is intended to tighten the feedback loop from field use to product updates, ensuring the technology evolves in lockstep with soldier needs and emerging threats.
