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.

Widening government support for printed electronics
This year, the world's largest event on printed electronics, "printed Electronics USA" will reflect the widening government support for printed electronics. Beyond the burgeoning programs at universities and government research centers, this is particularly evident in military and electric vehicle work. The US Army reflects this in two presentations. One is an overview of materials printing capabilities and prototype development for US Army applications and the other concerns direct write approaches to nanoscale electronics.8 Sep 2011
UNO earns $900k award from ONR to build robotic eel
The University of New Orleans is the recipient of a 3-year $937,000 award from the Office of Naval Research to design and build a new type of robotic "eel" that is capable of operating in shallow water environments where Navy personnel could be at risk.8 Sep 2011
Harvesting power from beetle's wings
According to the DARPA Microsystems Technology Office, The Hybrid Insect Micro Electromechanical Systems (HI-MEMS) program is aimed at developing technology to provide control over insect locomotion, just as reins are needed for effective control over horse locomotion.2 Sep 2011
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles get cleverer
Kongsberg is the world's largest manufacturer of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles. These are almost always pure electric vehicles but some can have fuel cell range extenders, making them hybrids. A leading researcher developing and deploying AUVs including ones that can surface to garner wave and solar power to charge the batteries before diving on their way is Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute.31 Aug 2011
Printed Electronics: What can we do better?
IDTechEx has tracked the printed electronics market since 2002. We have conducted extensive research programs, run our own events internationally and attended most other relevant events. Being impartial, we state the good and the bad. So what have we learnt?30 Aug 2011
