In aerospace environments where electronics face extreme temperatures, vacuum, and radiation, gallium oxide stands out for its innate robustness. Devices built on our material can are radiation hard, meaning they can withstand extreme temperatures and radiation while in orbit without specialized shielding. They also maintain stable operation well beyond the thermal limits of silicon. This resilience reduces the need for elaborate cooling loops and protective packaging, allowing integration and infrastructure engineers to streamline avionics modules and radar transmitters. 

The weight savings achieved by eliminating heavy thermal management and shielding directly benefit aircraft and satellite missions. Lighter electronics free up payload capacity—whether it be for additional sensors, communications gear, or scientific instruments—while offering the same or better power density. For defense applications, this means more flexible mission profiles and longer endurance, all enabled by the superior material properties of Ga₂O₃.
