History

One Mission. Endless Innovation.

Fuse was founded on October 29, 2010, by military veterans with a single mission: to deliver tactical advantage to the warfighter. Since that time, we’ve evolved from R&D and prototypes to fielded programs of record—delivering capability that enhances survivability, lethality, and decision dominance on the battlefield. Over the years, Fuse has demonstrated its focus on delivering solutions to our nation’s warfighters around the world.
