No SPM builds physical high-performance battery packs, power export systems, and vehicle drivetrains for defense and industrial customers. Hardware engineering, battery safety, and defense compliance (ITAR/EAR, military specifications) cannot be produced through AI-assisted software development.
What it would actually take: Building a comparable company requires battery cell selection and pack design (thermal management, BMS firmware, high-voltage safety, crash and environmental testing), power electronics and vehicle integration, and manufacturing capacity. It also needs certification and compliance expertise for defense programs, including ITAR registration, military-spec testing, and security clearances. The team would need mechanical, electrical, electrochemical, and systems engineers plus manufacturing and program management, with significant capital.
