About Vajraang Kamat

Engineer building next-generation strike systems.I design and integrate advanced munitions—bridging lethality, energetics, and safety architecture to move real hardware from concept to fielded capability.My work focuses on weapon system architecture, lethality engineering, and safety integration, translating operational concepts into fielded hardware. I specialize in bridging warhead design, fuze and safety systems, and platform integration to ensure advanced munitions can move quickly from concept to production.At Castelion, I work on developing and scaling advanced strike systems as part of a new generation of defense companies focused on rapid iteration, hardware testing, and manufacturing at scale.Previously at Mach Industries, I led munition integration and lethality engineering efforts, defining warhead requirements, integrating energetics systems, and architecting safety solutions compliant with mil standardsMy technical interests include:• Weapon system architecture and integration• Lethality engineering and warhead design• Energetics safety and insensitive munitions• Rapid hardware development and flight testingI’m motivated by building real systems that strengthen deterrence and close capability gaps—moving fast while maintaining the rigor required for safety-critical defense hardware.
