Small, Focused, and Hands-On

With over 40 years of combined experience in chemistry, engineering, biology, and materials science, we bridge the gap between academic research, government defense needs, and private-sector innovation.

Energetics Research

Early-stage studies, proof-of-concept work, and technical exploration that de-risks larger programs.

Prototyping & Hardware

Design and build of prototypes, fixtures, and test articles for novel materials.

Test & Evaluation Support

Lab and field support, small scale sensitivity, instrumentation, and data collection to inform engineering decisions.
