(544a) Advanced Materials And Nano-Energetic Development At Us Army, Rdecom-Ardec

The US Army, at RDECOM-ARDEC, has been exploring various technologies to produce both energetic and non-energetic nanomaterials and advanced materials. ARDEC has established partnerships with industry and academia to synthesize and modify materials to meet identified needs and technology gaps as identified by DoD and Army leadership. These technologies are either being developed at ARDEC or will be transferred to the ARDEC campus so that a wide array of prototyping capabilities will be available to transition these technologies to core programs.

This briefing will discuss the various partnerships and technologies ARDEC is developing. It will bring to light the progress that has been made over the past few years as well as the challenges that have been overcome and the ones that the Army still faces as these materials and technologies are transferred to the Warfighter.
