Radian Forge
Portsmouth, VA
Short Description
A defense manufacturing startup using large-format Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) to produce certified metal parts for naval and maritime applications rapidly.
Overview
Radian Forge is an advanced defense manufacturing company based in Portsmouth, Virginia, focused on restoring speed, scale, and resilience to U.S. shipbuilding and national defense supply chains. Founded by CEO Jeff Yeager, a U.S. Marine veteran and industrial executive, the firm addresses severe lead times, foundry capacity shortages, and compounding backlog challenges across naval and surface-fleet programs.
By pairing industrial robotics with Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) and real-time process monitoring, Radian Forge replaces traditional, long-cycle castings and forgings with high-throughput metal production. Their systems are purpose-built for deployment directly within shipyards, industrial depots, and forward operational environments, delivering certified, Navy-grade metal components closer to the point of need.
