SUMMARY:Energetic Materials Industry Day
DESCRIPTION:Purpose \nThe Air Force Research Lab Air Warfare Directorate (AFRL/RA) Energetic Materials Branch\, in collaboration with Doolittle Institute\, is hosting an Industry Day to showcase upcoming partnership opportunities within the Advanced Munitions Technology Complex (AMTC) located at the High Explosives Research & Development (HERD) Facility at Eglin AFB. \nOverview \nThis event intends to share recent AFRL invention disclosures with industry stakeholders and SMEs with expertise in energetic materials to nurture research collaboration and partnerships for new ordnance discovery\, testing\, characterization\, processing\, and prototyping. We are seeking industry partners that can assist in the commercialization\, production\, and transition of newly developed energetic materials that exceed state-of-the-art in performance. Collaborations will range from examining and producing energetic material ingredients\, scaling formulations fabrication\, and producing material for subsequent component and system level performance and qualification testing utilizing the novel formulations. \nThe morning will be a plenary forum with the government presenting information on current and upcoming projects that seek to leverage external partnerships. One-on-one meetings with companies will follow in the afternoon. The one-on-one meetings will be by invite only\, however\, ongoing discussion after the event will be encouraged. \nAttendance at this event is limited\, and interested parties are required to submit a request to attend via the following link: Industry Day Registration Form. Those selected to attend will be notified no later than June 16\, 2023\, and we recommend not making travel plans until you receive notification that your attendance is approved. All non-government attendees to this event are required to sign an NDA and much of the information being discussed will be protected under ITAR. Attendees are responsible for submitting a completed\, signed NDA no later than July 19\, 2023. \n***If selected to attend\, the registrants are responsible for returning a signed NDA at least two days prior to the event date.*** \nHow to Participate \n1. Review the Overview: Listed above \n**NOTE: Companies are encouraged to register multiple participants; please complete a separate registration for each anticipated attendee. \n2. Submit an Application for Invitation.

Originally trained as an analytical chemist\, he is well-versed in chemical instrumentation and enjoys developing analysis methods. Over the years he has worked in a variety of explosive formulation development efforts most notably wax-based melt castable explosives\, thermally stable materials\, and more recently\, high-performance Combined Effects Explosives. \n \nBRIAN K. LITTLE\nDr. Brian Little has been working with the Air Force Research Laboratory Air Warfare Directorate since 2010. A graduate from Auburn University where he conducted research in photochemical kinetics\, polymer chemistry and smart light-responsive materials\, Dr. Little is well versed in a variety of characterization methods for which he enjoys implementing into his research studies. Over the years he has worked with a variety of novel energetic material systems focusing on optimization of chemical reactions with metal fuels and novel oxidizers. Most recently\, Dr. Little has been co-leading an effort to stand up a new formulation capability at AFRL/RWTE that led to the development of a class of high-performance metallized formulations called “Combined Effects Explosives” (CEX). He has published about 30 papers and is responsible\, at least in part\, for the development of a high-performance cast cured explosive and several Air Force CEX. Dr. Little is a co-inventor on three patents\, two of which are for SOTA CEX.

SUMMARY:How to Pitch Your Technology Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Communication is important in most B2G interactions\, but it is critical if you are showcasing a novel technology to a key decision maker that may or may not have a technical background. How you present your technology in that first meeting may lay the groundwork for successful commercialization of your technology so it’s important to be prepared. Join us for a quick 30-minute workshop on how to effectively showcase your technology to a government stakeholder. This content was developed to facilitate the transfer of technology into and out of the Air Force Research Lab Air Warfare Directorate (AFRL/RA). \nWatch the video here.
