Advanced Energetics

The Problem

For hundreds of years, artillery shells and bombs

have been 75%+ inert metal, 25%- explosive

Current high explosive can yield over 1500 cal/g, but when the “packaging” of inert steel is taken

into account, the effective energy per unit mass

drops to 500 cal/g

Advanced Energetics seeks to boost this by at least

100% to get the mass equivalent energy release

back to the level of raw high explosive

The Inventions

Patent 8,359,979 – Composite Projectile

“BAM” Bonded Advanced Munition

A munition that is suitable for a small caliber projectile

It release energy only on impact and contains no high

explosive

Patent 8,372,224 – Structurally Sound Reactive Materials;

“ARMS” Advanced Reactive materials

A material system that is comprised of aluminum with high

density inclusions

A material system that comes apart on impact and releases energy but has static structural strength

The Applications - BAM

BAM – Bonded Advanced Munitions

Reactive small-medium caliber bullets

Fully jacketed

14.5mm round

Reactive metal

core

Remnant of first

shot (mostly Ta)

Remnant of another

shot (some Ta still

bonded to Zr after

impact

The Applications - BAM

Car Door

Additional

Armor Plates:

0.5 – 1.0 in.

The Applications - BAMStart of impact

event

Each frame is 1/30th of a second – significant reaction still present after 12-15 frames or approaching 0.5 seconds

Data file: 20110428-135959Camera is saturated by fireball

The Applications – ARMS

UAVs and UCAVs are the largest emerging market – specialized munitions that are lighter but still pack a punch due to

energetic structural materials

The Applications - ARMS

GBUs, BLUs, JDAMs, mortars, and warheads

The Applications - ARMS

Manufacturers are already customizing munitions for

UAVs

YUMA, Ariz., Oct. 25 2010 (UPI) --

New tactical munitions for use

by unmanned aerial vehicles

have been successfully tested

by the Raytheon Company

Harop is a loitering munition (LM)

system developed in Israel by

the MBT Missiles Division of Israel

Aerospace Industries (IAI). The

unmanned combat aerial

vehicle is also known as the

Harpy-2 loitering munitions

missile. The drone loiters over the

battlefield and attacks the

targets by self-destructing into

them.

Raytheon’s AGM-175 Griffin, is an

example of a smaller guided munition

that provides many of the benefits that

a guided rocket does (in mass

[14.5kg] and collateral effects), while

offering enhanced guidance

capability with options of GPS-

coordinated target location, inertial

navigation or laser designation.

The Business Model

Further targeted technology maturation to

demonstrate functionality and suitability for

applications

Joint Ventures (Allotrope / KMI / TNO)

Shared risk, shared reward

Materials and Component Supply

Materials and sub-assembly manufacturing

The Next Steps - BAM

BAM for projectiles is at a high technology

readiness level

Highly focused development on small to medium caliber projectiles

Develop and produce rounds to shoot

Initial demonstrations and sales to US Govt. clients

Materials and component production ramp-up

The Next Steps - ARMS

ARMS for structural reactive components is at a

somewhat lower technology readiness level

Additional materials engineering work to increase technology readiness

Market survey especially for UAV / UCAV market

Work with KMI and TNO to raise the funds

necessary to complete the science

Targeted materials and component development

Materials and component production ramp-up

Investment or Partnership

Opportunity

Allotrope is actively seeking investors and vetting

technology and manufacturing partners.

BAM is at TRL 6 for small caliber rounds and TRL 5

for medium caliber.

ARMs is at TRL 3.

Allotrope serves as the Senior Program Director

for multiple Research and Development

programs related to advanced Defense

Technologies.
