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.

RFID - a surge in orders
As forecasted by IDTechEx, there has been a surge in orders for RFID in 2009. Despite the world's largest RFID project, the $6 billion China National ID card scheme, being completed a year earlier, the global RFID market is rising 5% this year to $5.56 billion, in the face of the global financial meltdown which has caused some car production, for example, to plummet by 50%. In many applicational sectors, RFID orders are up 10%.4 Jun 2009
Advanced flexible OLEDs closer to mass market
The Flexible Display Center (FDC) at Arizona State University and Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ: PANL), has introduced the first a-Si:H active matrix flexible organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display to be manufactured directly on DuPont Teijin's polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) substrate.2 Jun 2009
Military thermoelectrics
Thermoelectric energy harvesting is used in many military applications. In addition, it is used in the related area of generating energy on space vehicles in deep space where thermoelectric are ineffective, this being done by converting the heat of a radioactive material - the Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator RTG.18 May 2009

RFID Market Forecasts 2009-2019
IDTechEx announces the new report RFID Forecasts, Players & Opportunities 2009-2019, which addresses the global RFID situation. Areas of growth, undersupply and oversupply and trends are given based on extensive new primary research. The report provides an unprecedented level of forecasts split in many ways. Here the primary author, Raghu Das, gives a summary of the report findings.7 Apr 2009
CIGS: Almost, but not quite there yet
IDTechEx believes that the amount of venture capital investment along with the intensified work for the transition from lab scale to high-volume production is going to make CIGS a technology that will be taking up a large chunk of orders and will be dominant in the photovoltaic market.24 Mar 2009
Hi-G-Tek wins subcontract from Unisys for RFID III DoD contract
Active RFID (where the tag has its own power supply) often has printed sensors and sometimes printed antennas. Unisys serves as the prime contractor and systems integrator for the RFID III DoD contract, bringing together the technologies of Hi-G-Tek and other solution providers.10 Mar 2009
Energy harvesting for robots
Robots need enduring motive power that is not usually associated with the term energy harvesting and power for sensors and so on that is more to do with energy harvesting. However, these needs merge as we progress to small robots.20 Feb 2009
