Profile
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.

Wearable energy harvesters for the battlefield
Providing a renewable power source that doesn't add to the heavy load soldiers already carry.24 Jul 2012
Highly transparent solar cells for windows that generate electricity
UCLA researchers have developed a new transparent solar cell that is an advance toward giving windows in homes and other buildings the ability to generate electricity while still allowing people to see outside.12 Jul 2012
Wireless sensors and energy harvesters in harsh environments
Energy harvesters and wireless sensors are not always deployed under "a walk in the park" operating environments. If anything, the most interesting applications for these technologies tend to be in sectors where conditions are harsh or devices are inaccessible once deployed.11 Jul 2012
Chip harvests power from multiple sources
Researchers at MIT have taken a significant step toward battery-free monitoring systems — which could ultimately be used in biomedical devices, environmental sensors in remote locations and gauges in hard-to-reach spots, among other applications.9 Jul 2012
How dye-based nanotubes can help harvest light's energy
Microorganisms called green sulfur bacteria, which live deep in the ocean where there's hardly any light available, manage to harvest 98 percent of the energy in the light that reaches them.6 Jul 2012
Turning 10 minutes of power into 200 through efficiency in robotics
DARPA has created the M3 Actuation program, with the goal of achieving a 2,000 percent increase in the efficiency of power transmission and application in robots, to improve performance potential.6 Jul 2012
New fuel cell keeps going after the hydrogen runs out
Materials scientists at Harvard have demonstrated a solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) that converts hydrogen into electricity but can also store electrochemical energy like a battery. This fuel cell can continue to produce power for a short time after its fuel has run out.26 Jun 2012
The first all-carbon photovoltaic cell
The carbon-based cell is most effective at capturing sunlight in the near-infrared region. Because the material is transparent to visible light, such cells could be overlaid on conventional solar cells, creating a tandem device that could harness most of the energy of sunlight.26 Jun 2012
Nano-infused paint can detect strain
Rice University's fluorescent nanotube coating can reveal stress on planes, bridges, buildings22 Jun 2012
Wave carpet to harvest ocean energy
In order to design wave energy devices, it is essential to understand the nature of water waves and the operation of wave energy devices at sea.12 Jun 2012
City Labs releases first commercially-available betavoltaic product
City Labs, Inc has released its first commercial product, a tritium-based betavoltaic power source that enables low-power microelectronic and sensor applications where battery replacement is difficult, impossible, or life-threatening.8 Jun 2012
Flexible Display Center produces largest flexible color OLED display
Measuring 7.4 diagonal inches, the device was developed at the FDC in conjunction with Army Research Labs scientists.7 Jun 2012
New type of electrolyte could be key to better batteries
Startup company Boulder Ionics is has developed a new high-throughput, low-cost synthesis platform for producing ionic liquid electrolytes for use in advanced energy storage devices.18 May 2012
Multiple harvesting for unmanned military boats
Villanova University and Unmanned Ocean Vehicles, Inc., in the USA have been developing the powertrain and harvesting for an unmanned surface boat using funding from the US Office of Naval Research.17 May 2012
Unmanned military electric boats
Villanova University and Unmanned Ocean Vehicles, Inc., in the USA have been developing the electric powertrain and harvesting for an unmanned surface boat using funding from the US Office of Naval Research since 2006.16 May 2012
Sea Eagle uses a total of 5,000 hp from solar hybrid power sources
The US Coast Guard Sea Eagle uses a total of 5,000hp from Solar Hybrid power sources that include cleaner MTU tier 4i Diesels. With less than half the fuel consumption of the Sentinel Class FRC's.8 May 2012
eMagin's follow-on OLED order for U.S. Army Remote Viewer Program
Deliveries under the original contract began in 2009 and are expected to continue into 2013.27 Apr 2012
New harvesting approach boosts energy output from bacteria
A team of scientists from University of Colorado Denver has developed a novel energy system that increases the amount of energy harvested from microbial fuel cells (MFCs) by more than 70 times.3 Apr 2012
Saft to supply Li-ion energy storage for US Army's GCV program
Saft has entered into an agreement with BAE Systems to design and build ultra high-power batteries for the vehicle's hybrid electric drive system as part of the U.S. Army's Ground Combat Vehicle (GCV) program.29 Mar 2012
Self powered robot jellyfish
Researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas and Virginia Tech have created an undersea vehicle inspired by the common jellyfish that runs on renewable energy and could be used in ocean rescue and surveillance missions.
