Lyntris Inc., a defense technology manufacturer, has added in-house vacuum brazing as part of a vertically integrated production line for passive thermal-management hardware used in military seekers, sensors, and mission electronics.
The company completed the multiyear investment at its Jessup, Maryland, facility, with production capacity available in the third quarter of 2026. The line is designed to manufacture phase-change-material (PCM) heat sinks at production volumes required by defense programs.
PCM heat sinks use an engineered material that melts as surrounding electronics generate heat, absorbing thermal energy and helping the electronics remain within operating limits. The passive approach eliminates the pumps, tubing, and reservoirs associated with active liquid-cooling systems, making it suitable for compact sensors and seekers.

The new line integrates precision machining of the heat sink structure, vacuum brazing, controlled PCM filling, thermal performance testing, and final assembly within one facility. Consolidating these operations is intended to reduce the qualification and scheduling risks created when manufacturing steps are divided among multiple vendors.
“Next-generation defense systems are being asked to deliver substantially more capability from increasingly company platforms, and thermal management is often one of the limiting factors,” said Matt Parisi, vice president of Business Development at Lyntris. “Our investment in phase change material technology allows us to solve that challenge with a passive, highly efficient thermal solution that can be engineered and manufactured at scale.”
Lyntris expects to apply the capability initially to seeker and sensor programs and is discussing additional applications with defense prime contractors and program offices.
