As we step into 2026, we’re proud to reflect on the incredible milestones achieved in 2025!
It was a year defined by innovation, execution, and impact as we advanced MOF-enabled technologies to tackle critical challenges in defense and chemical protection.
Here are some key highlights from 2025:
1⃣Operational Deployment of MOF-Enabled Protective Fabrics
↳ Successfully transitioned advanced materials from the lab to the field, producing scaled next-generation CBRN garments powered by Numat SENTINEL® MOFs. These solutions are now operational and will provide enhanced protection in real-world scenarios.
2⃣Operationally Relevant Test Events
↳ Numat MOF-enabled CBRN Suits were rigorously tested during two key operational user trials:
▪️A 4-day field exercise with the U.S. Army’s 7th Infantry Division 1-2 Stryker Brigade Combat Team at the Yakima Training Center in Washington State.
▪️A 10-day exercise at Dugway Proving Grounds in Utah, where Army National Guard Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Teams (WMD-CST) and active-duty Army soldiers wore Numat Sentinel CBRN Suits.
Both exercises demonstrated that Numat garments far exceeded the durability and wearability performance of current CBRN fielded legacy systems.
3⃣Engagement with the United States and International Defense and CBRN communities
↳ Presented and exhibited at 10+ key conferences, including SOF Week and CBRN Convergence, fostering collaboration across the ecosystem.
4⃣Strengthening Leadership in the Defense Sector
↳ Launched Numat Defense Advisory Board, comprised of renowned veteran leaders from the U.S. Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps, to accelerate awareness, adoption, and procurement of MOF-enabled solutions.
5⃣Strategic partnerships
↳ Partnered with Milliken & Company to expand next-generation protective fabric solutions for defense, first responders, and industrial customers.
Thank you to our partners, investors, and the Numat team for making this progress possible. Here’s to an even more impactful 2026!🚀
