Products
Miniature cryocooler controller electronics for tactical/space applications
Controller electronics and power drives optimized for miniature cryocoolers, emphasizing high conversion efficiency, low EMI and radiation tolerance for space and tactical missions.
Battery thermal safety system (heat spreader and BMS algorithms)
Integrated battery safety solution combining passive thermal spreaders to reduce thermal resistance with BMS algorithms and protection hardware to detect emergent electrochemical faults and internal shorts prior to thermal runaway.
Hearing protection helmet for extreme-noise environments
Helmet-integrated passive hearing protection system engineered to reduce airborne and bone-conducted sound for high-noise environments such as aircraft carrier flight decks.
Hearing assessment systems (wireless audiometric headset and screening probes)
Portable hearing-assessment hardware and tablet/mobile software enabling audiometry and otoacoustic emission screening outside traditional sound booths, with cloud or local database hosting.
Nebulizer and inhalation device prototypes and miniaturized autoinjector
Prototype aerosol drug delivery devices and a miniaturized autoinjector with disposable drug cartridges and storage/reconstitution approaches for multi-component injections; supports aerosol characterization and deposition testing.
Miniature hybrid turbomolecular/molecular drag vacuum pump
Very small high-performance vacuum pump suitable for portable analytical instruments with ultimate pressures in the 10^-8 Torr range and low mass/power footprint; space-qualified variants delivered for planetary missions.

News & Updates
Five missile defense satellites with cryogenic cooling systems driven by Creare LLC’s Miniature Cryocooler Controller Electronics for Tactical Space (MCCE-TS) successfully launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida.
Creare’s Hearing Protection Helmet (HPH) protects sailors and marines from hearing loss and head injury better than their existing equipment. Creare is currently preparing its first deliveries of the HPH to the US Navy on a low rate initial production contract.
Creare and the Two-Phase Flow and Thermal Management Lab at Case Western Reserve University have teamed to measure heat transfer and develop new correlations for boiling heat transfer in cryogenic fuel tanks. This work supports modeling and design for efficient propellant storage and transfer in future exploration spacecraft.
NASA announced selection of the National Team, led by Blue Origin, to develop a human landing system for the agency’s Artemis V mission to the Moon, with Creare as a key contributor.
Creare successfully delivered two pre-position tools (PPTs) to the U.S. Navy for maintaining the purchase cables used for aircraft landing on carrier decks.
On June 21st, the 62nd anniversary of the company, Creare celebrated the lives and contributions of three of its former presidents: Bob Dean, Peter Runstadler, and Paul Rothe. The commemorative luncheon honored their contributions to the company and the community.
