Hermus has strategically positioned itself to meet the evolving demands of the defense sector. The founders recognized that speed is becoming a renewed priority in aircraft technology after a decades-long emphasis on stealth. The specific advantages of speed—survivability, agility, and quick response—can potentially outweigh those offered by stealth technologies, making hypersonic capabilities crucial in contemporary military engagements.
The company’s unique approach gave it an advantage in fostering relationships with key decision-makers within the Department of Defense and Congress. Hermus emphasizes collaboration, seeking to develop products that can adapt to the customers' requirements seamlessly while waiting for governmental backing.
