About
DRS Research was founded by materials scientists and process engineers who spent careers watching high-performance hardware fail, not because of design flaws, but because available coating options couldn't keep pace with operating requirements. Starting with a DOE SBIR award in 2012, the company built a systematic body of work across molten salt corrosion, hypersonic thermal protection, gun barrel erosion, and high-temperature dielectric systems using High Entropy Alloy thermal spray coatings. Today, DRS operates with active programs spanning four market verticals and six government-funded research awards, remaining small by design with every customer engagement led by senior engineers.
