NuvoNexus builds and operates deep-tech businesses in defense materials, defense technology transition, industrial asset recovery and, through MNEOS and NeuroClearance, brain-health research. Each company below has its own technical leadership, customer base, and contracting infrastructure. NuvoNexus provides the holding-company spine: capital allocation, executive oversight, and the operating discipline that turns funded R&D into transitioned product.
Defense materials R&D and prototype systems. Four funded programs across USMC, NAVSEA, and ONR — from non-lethal stand-off immobilization systems to additive composite tooling and warfighter recovery materials.
Helicon Defense helps selected allied defense technologies move from operational validation toward trusted U.S./allied evaluation, manufacturing, acquisition, and sustainment pathways. The work centers on moving allied technology into U.S. capability — with IP protection, trusted supply-chain redesign, demonstration readiness, manufacturing-localization planning, and originator value return.
Helicon Defense was founded within NuvoNexus, LLC and spun out as an independent Delaware corporation, Helicon Defense, Inc., in 2026. Additional detail is available at helicondefense.com.

NeuroClearance is an evidence-first research and engineering program on brain health, built on the science of how the brain maintains and clears itself. It is developed inside MNEOS, the platform’s computational-engineering institution, with AI collaborators working alongside the human team. A first bench instrument is in characterisation and a public educational library launched on October 9, 2026. Additional detail is available at neuroclearance.com.
