Energy Harvesting and Efficient Storage in Harsh Environments (Energy Harvesting and Storage USA 2012)

Mr. Tim Hoang has served as senior energetic applications at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Division, where his current projects include the development of a MEMS based Safety & Arming Device, Micro-Detonator, and energy harvesting technology. He has authored over 14 papers, presentations on a wide variety of subjects related to energetic materials, energy harvesting and MEMS devices, and is the sole inventor or co-inventor on 6 US Patents, some of which are currently in-process.

As a U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) Energetics Center, the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Division (NSWC IHD) is a leader in the Navy's Energetics Enterprise. Its mission is to provide research, development, test and evaluation and in-service support of energetics and energetic materials for propulsion systems, ordnance & pyrotechnic devices and fuzing for Navy, Joint Forces, and the Nation. Capabilities include research, test, and engineering of chemicals, propellants, explosives, related electronic devices and associated ordnance equipment.

 

In short, the U.S. Navy and other Federal Government agencies and allied nations come to NSWC IHD for energetic systems solutions — the organization supports the warfighter of today, anticipates their future needs, and makes discoveries for the next generation.
