Fusion startups are pivoting toward defense partnerships as climate tech funding stalls, specifically leveraging laser-based reactor designs for directed energy weapons against modern drone threats. This strategic shift reactivates the historical link between fusion research and national security, offering a viable alternative revenue stream while advancing high-energy laser technology. The convergence of commercial fusion innovation with military needs marks a significant evolution in how these technologies are applied beyond power generation.
Fusion power startups find new partners in the defense world
Fusion startups are inking defense-related deals, reigniting the relationship between fusion and national security that might have gone dormant, but never completely disappeared.
Fusion power is getting back to its roots. As fusion startups keep chasing their ultimate goal — putting electrons on the grid — many are also now embracing, or returning to, the defense applications that laid the foundation for the industry. The sector emerged decades ago when physicists looked for more constructive uses of the science behind the thermonuclear bombs that proliferated during the Cold War. The national security angle never really went away. A groundbreaking fusion…
