US contract for designing military-grade energetic materials
Military-grade energetic materials are capable of rapidly releasing significant amounts of energy through chemical and physical reactions, used in explosives, propellants, and pyrotechnics.
These materials are necessary for the proper functioning of defense systems. However, traditional processing techniques limit their potential, as per a press release from the company.
Under the $2 million subcontract, Supernova’s VLM processing will aim to provide key innovations to enhance safety, ensure material consistency, reduce waste stream, and unlock new performance capabilities.
“The technology that Supernova is developing will enable the production of critical components for weapon systems that are essential for national security,” said Victor Boelscher, Head of Federal Programs at ACMI Federal.
