Defence Tech Subsidiary Established Following Radar Signature Reduction
Breakthrough
Highlights
• Adisyn establishes new subsidiary 2D Radar Absorbers Ltd to progress radar signature
reduction technologies for Drone, UAV, and other Defence applications
• Follows successful demonstration of up to 20dB radar signature reduction using graphene-
enhanced composite materials
• Ongoing optimisation targeting ~30dB radar reduction, equivalent to a 1,000-fold decrease
in radar return signal strength1
• Development program to be conducted in collaboration with Tel Aviv University, led by
globally recognised radar physics expert Professor Pavel Ginzburg
• Targeted R&D program commencing, including the engagement of a full team supported by
Tel Aviv University
• The radar signature breakthrough represents a step change in drone and UAV mission
success rates and may support a material reduction in the number of drones and UAV’s
required.
• Application being prepared for Israeli Ministry of Defence grant funding
• Market size for military drones alone globally2: US$20.7Bn (2026)
US$66.5Bn (2035)
• Radar initiative represents a potential lucrative application of Adisyn’s graphene expertise
alongside its core semiconductor graphene interconnect program. Progress on the graphene
interconnect program continues in accordance with previously disclosed milestones and will
be reported separately
Adisyn Ltd (ASX: AI1) (“Adisyn” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the establishment of a new
defence technology subsidiary, 2D Radar Absorbers Ltd, following the successful demonstration of up
to 20dB radar signature reduction using graphene-enhanced composite materials in testing
conducted in collaboration with Tel Aviv University3.
The Company is now progressing a Targeted development program aimed at optimising the materials
to achieve approximately 30dB radar signature reduction.

A reduction of this magnitude represents a massive 1,000-fold decrease in radar return signal
strength, meaning a drone that previously appeared as a large object on radar would appear closer
to the size of a large insect4 (see Diagram 1).
If achieved, such reductions may significantly reduce the radar detectability of drones and UAV
platforms and have potential applications across defence, aerospace, and advanced materials sectors.

Targeted Development Program
Adisyn has initiated a structured development program with Tel Aviv University to further develop
and optimise graphene-enhanced radar absorption materials.
The program will be led by Professor Pavel Ginzburg, Full Professor of Electrical Engineering at Tel Aviv
University and a recognised global expert in radar physics and electromagnetic materials.
As part of the program:
• A full-time researcher will be engaged within Professor Ginzburg’s research team

Adisyn Ltd | ACN 155 473 304 | 1300 331 888 | 2 – 3/4 McGrath Road, Henderson WA 6166 | adisyn.com.au
• Additional team members from Prof. Max Sokol Lab, focus on synthesis, processing, and
property-driven design of advanced composites.
• Research will utilise specialised radar and materials laboratories at Tel Aviv University
• Work will focus on optimisation of graphene-enhanced composite structures targeting ~30dB
radar signature reduction
Adisyn has the option to secure exclusive commercialisation rights to the technology developed
under the joint research program.
Defence Sector Engagement
The Company is preparing an application for grant funding support from the Israeli Ministry of
Defence, in collaboration with the university development team.
The funding application reflects the potential strategic relevance of radar signature reduction
technologies in modern drone, UAV and defence systems.
Adisyn is also progressing discussions regarding the establishment of an Advisory Board for the new
subsidiary, which may include individuals with significant defence and aerospace sector experience.
Strategic Positioning
The radar signature reduction initiative represents a significant commercial application of Adisyn’s
graphene materials expertise.
The program is being developed alongside the Company’s primary focus on its graphene
semiconductor interconnect technology, which aims to address the performance limitations of
copper interconnects in advanced semiconductor devices.
Adisyn Ltd | ACN 155 473 304 | 1300 331 888 | 2 – 3/4 McGrath Road, Henderson WA 6166 | adisyn.com.au
The Company believes its broader graphene know-how may enable multiple high-value applications
across electronics, advanced materials and defence technologies.
The establishment of 2D Radar Absorbers Ltd provides a Targeted platform to progress the radar
absorption technology and supports potential future strategic partnerships and commercialisation
pathways.
Comment from Managing Director Arye Kohavi
“Recent laboratory results demonstrating a 20dB radar signature reduction highlight the potential of
graphene-enhanced materials in radar absorption applications.
The establishment of 2D Radar Absorbers allows us to focus Targeted resources on advancing this
technology alongside our core semiconductor program.
While our primary focus remains on graphene interconnect solutions for next-generation
semiconductors, the radar absorption program represents an exciting additional opportunity
emerging from our graphene expertise. I can envisage a time in the not-too-distant future where this
incredible technology could be spun out into a separate vehicle for the benefit of our shareholders.”
Next Steps
Key milestones expected over the coming months include:
• Finalisation of commercial terms with Tel Aviv University
• Expansion of the development program and continued materials optimisation
• Submission of the Israeli Ministry of Defence grant funding application
• Further technical testing of graphene-enhanced composite structures
Adisyn plans to continually update shareholders as key milestones are achieved.
