LITMUS Defense in Exclusive US Naval Air Warfare Center Cooperative Research Agreement

abchurch — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 12:36:14 +0000

Short description

LITMUS, LLC, a leading global technology innovations company, today announces that its majority owned subsidiary, LITMUS Defense, LLC, has entered into a formal agreement with the U.S. Naval Air Warfare Center, Weapons Division (NAWCWD), for the research and development of carbon nanostructures in advanced rocket motors and warheads.

Article body

2007.04.12. LITMUS, LLC, a leading global technology innovations company, today announces that its majority owned subsidiary, LITMUS Defense, LLC, has entered into a formal agreement with the U.S. Naval Air Warfare Center, Weapons Division (NAWCWD), for the research and development of carbon nanostructures in advanced rocket motors and warheads.

The NAWCWD is the premier research and development center within the Naval Air Systems Command, conducting basic and applied research of advanced technologies related to tactical naval air weapons systems. NAWCWD has extensive expertise, multi-billion dollar research and test facilities and information in energetic systems.

The use of high quality carbon nanotubes and nanofibers into various rocket motor and warhead components and propellants can provide multiple enhanced properties, such as increasing thermal conductivity and performance, increasing the strength of materials and alloys, and reducing the weight and size of structural components, thereby dramatically affecting the structure and propellants of rockets to provide greater thrust per second into a system.

Bill Nevius, President of LITMUS Defense, said: “We have significant knowledge and experience in the complex chemistries involved with the successful integration of carbon nanostructures. As such, we are uniquely qualified as a commercial partner to conduct the required research and to then commercialize the technologies resulting from these efforts.”

Mark Diggs, Chief Executive Officer of LITMUS, said: “We are confident that this collaboration will prove highly beneficial for both parties. It will enable us to leverage significant government assets and knowledge towards the rapid development and commercialization of advanced technology applications and the potential for innovation and creation of new products is an exciting prospect.”

Todays dismounted infantry soldier carries a back-breaking load, usually 100-140 pounds, and still has insufficient ballistic protection, little defense against chemical and biological weapons, and too many pieces of equipment that don’t work well together. The ISNs challenge is to transform today’s cotton/nylon fatigues and bulky equipment belts to a sleek, lightweight battlesuit that provides everything from responsive armor to medical monitoring to communications and more, in one integrated system.

Nanotechnology fits into this vision in two important ways. First, it offers the potential for miniaturization, a key part of reducing weight. Todays hefty radio worn on a harness might be reduced to a button-sized tab on the collar. And a waterproof poncho could be replaced by a permanent nano-thin coating applied to everything the soldier carries. Secondly, because nanotechnology operates at length scales where classical macroscopic physics breaks down, it offers engineers the potential for creating unprecedented new materials properties and devices. Nanotechnology can solve problems that scientists have been struggling with for decades.

Nomadics nanotechnology cultivation efforts currently focus on two general kinds of applications. First, our scientists were the first to demonstrate and report on the property of photostimulated luminescence (PSL) in nanoparticles.

Simply put, nanoparticles emit light in response to exposure to various types of energy. Potential applications include safer, higher resolution x-ray films, radiation dosimeters, optical storage devices, light-emitting diodes, and in vivo imaging probes. Similar principles can be harnessed to produce energy upon exposure to light, for photovoltaic and other applications. Nomadics is currently conducting research in all of these areas, funded by agencies such as the National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation.

A second broad area of interest is the assembly of nanostructures. NomadicsО® work in this arena includes development of special coatings that provide protection against corrosion without posing the environmental risks common to many of the coatings used by the aerospace, automotive, pipeline, and other industries. We are exploring the use of specific nanostructures such as nanowires for miniaturized circuits and carbon nanotubes for ultra-high-strength lightweight composites. We have coated individual nanoparticles for use as sensor probes, catalysts, drug delivery agents, and other applications where their small size is a benefit.
