How this score was calculated
Each of the five readiness dimensions is scored 0–100 from public evidence, then weighted into a single outside-in readiness estimate. Expand any dimension to see the evidence behind it.

Publicly observed strengths
- US SiC substrate capacity (formerly II-VI) supports defense electrification.
- Photonics and laser portfolio widely used in defense sensors.
Publicly observed gaps
- Rare-earth and specialty crystal inputs partly foreign-concentrated.
- Sub-tier optical component visibility limited publicly.
