Phantom Defense is a research-driven small arms and munitions developer focused on advancing firearm performance through disciplined engineering, empirical testing, and iterative design. For over a decade our teams of engineers, ballisticians, and production specialists have executed end-to-end development programs—spanning concept validation, materials qualification, small-batch prototyping, and controlled scale manufacture—under tightly managed quality systems. Our work is characterized by quantifiable outcomes: repeatable accuracy, predictable terminal performance, and component durability validated by instrumented test protocols.
Operating at the intersection of applied research and field deployment, Phantom pursues innovation with a strict methodology: hypothesis, controlled experiment, data capture, and design refinement. We maintain closed-loop feedback with operational end users and armorers to ensure product improvements are driven by measured performance in real-world conditions. Manufacturing is outsourced to qualified partners under our technical oversight when appropriate, allowing us to balance capital efficiency with production consistency and traceable lot control.
