Tactical Labs Reaches $42M Valuation and Launches Seed Round to Accelerate Innovation into 2026

Tactical Labs, a veteran-led advanced materials company, has achieved a $42 million valuation following an independent evaluation by Transaction Capital. PR Newswire

The valuation reflects growing recognition of the company’s breakthrough material, NS Fiber™, a U.S.-made composite that is lighter, stronger, and more affordable than steel, aluminum, or carbon fiber. Engineered to reduce aircraft and drone weight by up to 70% and lower production costs by 25%, NS Fiber offers unmatched strength, heat resistance, and corrosion protection for defense and aerospace systems.

With this milestone, Tactical Labs is officially launching its seed funding round to support research and development, expand production capacity, and scale operations as the company moves into 2026. [Tactical Labs on Wefunder]

The investment will help advance partnerships with Baylor University’s BRIC and the University of Colorado’s RECUV Aerospace Program, strengthening Tactical Labs’ ability to deliver lighter, more resilient materials for aircraft, unmanned systems, and maritime platforms.
