Platforms

One Reactor.
Four Platforms.

The LFTR capsule is the product. The vehicles prove the technology. Each platform eliminates a different category of fuel dependency — permanently.

Platform 1

T1-M — Tactical Ground Vehicle

The T1-M is a high-clearance tactical vehicle built around the THORON LFTR capsule as its structural and energetic heart. The carbon fiber reinforced polymer monocoque chassis integrates the reactor capsule as the primary structural member — all crash load paths terminate at the capsule. There is no internal combustion engine. No fuel tank. No resupply requirement for the operational life of the vehicle.

T1-M / Primary Specs
Tactical Ground
Power Output800kW continuous
Drivetrain4× 200kW hub motors
RangeUnlimited
Fuel IntervalNever
0–60 mphUnder 2.5 seconds
Crew2–4 (unmanned first)
Fuel Load8kg Th-232 at factory
Fuel Life50–100 years
Four independent hub motors with per-wheel torque vectoring via software. No driveshaft. No differential. No transmission. CFRP monocoque chassis. 30–50kWh solid-state buffer battery for transient peak demand.
T1-M / The Argument
No Convoy
ChassisCFRP monocoque
Crew Dose<1 mSv/year
Sensor SuiteLiDAR + Radar + 12 cam
Solar Aux3–5kW perovskite PV
TRITON Rating3,400G / 1,100°C
Weight~4,500kg
Every US military vehicle today is defined by its fuel dependency. The T1-M eliminates that dependency for the entire service life of the vehicle. Unmanned-first design — no crew exposure risk, no life support mass penalty.
Platform 2

NF-1 — Nuclear Strike Aircraft

The single greatest constraint on conventional military aviation is fuel. Every strike mission is planned around fuel range. Every long-endurance surveillance operation is limited by tankage. Air-to-air refueling extends range but adds complexity and vulnerability. The NF-1 eliminates all of it. Unlimited range. Indefinite loiter. No tanker dependency. A nuclear-powered aircraft that can remain on station for days, not hours, changes the entire character of air power.

NF-1 / Primary Specs
Strike Aircraft
Reactor Output2MW thermal
ConfigurationDelta wing + canards
RangeUnlimited
LoiterIndefinite
Payload8,000+ kg
Hardpoints4× external + internal bay
Fuel Life25+ years
CrewUnmanned (preferred)
sCO2 Brayton turbines driving electric motors on all thrust surfaces. TRITON capsule in fuselage center. Crew module at nose with secondary radiation barrier. Auto-vitrifies on terminal velocity impact.
NF-1 / The Argument
Indefinite Loiter
Tanker DependencyZero
Mission LimitMaintenance only
Crew LimitNone (unmanned)
Indefinite loiter is only achievable unmanned. No crew endurance limit. No life support mass. No ejection seat. The entire mass budget goes to reactor, sensors, and weapons. An aircraft that never lands is a genuinely new category of weapon system.
Platform 3

NT-1 — Main Battle Tank

The M1 Abrams consumes approximately 10 gallons of fuel per mile in combat conditions. A battalion of 58 tanks requires thousands of gallons per day of operation. Every gallon has to be trucked to the forward operating base through territory that may be actively contested. Fuel convoys are the most predictable and highest-value targets in any armored campaign. They determine the operational tempo of the entire force.

NT-1 / Primary Specs
Main Battle Tank
Power Output1,200kW continuous
Main Armament152mm smoothbore
DrivetrainElectric — direct drive
Speed80 kph
RangeUnlimited
Weight~65,000 kg
Crew3 (manned)
Active ProtectionAPS — RPG/ATGM defeat
All systems fully electric — turret traverse, gun elevation, comms, sensors. No hydraulics. TRITON capsule at hull center of mass — maximum standoff from all exterior surfaces. Reactive armor panels over monocoque hull.
NT-1 / The Argument
Kill the Convoy
vs M1 AbramsNo fuel dependency
Operational tempoUnlimited
Logistics tailEliminated
The NT-1 recommends manned operation — tactical advantage of human crew in tank combat exceeds the mass penalty. The shielding geometry of a tank gives natural radiation standoff distance. All three crew members are in a separate armored capsule from the LFTR.
Platform 4

NS-1 — Nuclear Surface Vessel

The US Navy has operated nuclear-powered vessels since USS Nautilus in 1954. The technology is proven. The regulatory framework exists. The limitation has always been cost and complexity of naval-scale reactors. THORON's miniaturized LFTR changes the equation by bringing nuclear propulsion to vessel classes that could never previously justify the cost — destroyers, frigates, fast attack craft, and amphibious assault platforms.

NS-1 / Primary Specs
Surface Vessel
Reactor Output5MW thermal
Displacement~8,000 tonnes
Speed35+ knots
RangeUnlimited
Endurance25 years no refuel
VLS Cells64+
Armament127mm guns × 2
Crew~200 (manned)
Electric azimuthing pod drives — 360° rotation, no shaft line or rudder. LFTR keel-mounted for optimal center of gravity. Auto-vitrifies on sinking. Crew reduced from conventional equivalents — no fuel handling department.
NS-1 / The Argument
Nuclear Fleet
DeploymentNaval Reactors pathway
CircumnavigationNo port call for fuel
ONR AlignmentDirect technology fit
The NS-1 is manned — the Navy nuclear tradition is entirely crewed. Naval Reactors / NAVSEA 08 engagement is the fastest regulatory path and it is built around crewed vessels. 70 years of precedent. The partnership with ONR begins in Phase 1.

The Reactor is the Product

The vehicles prove the technology. The technology licenses everywhere. Maritime. Remote power. Grid-scale. The wedge is military. The world is the market.
