• Ready for traffic in just 2-4 hours
• Can be mixed and applied on-site using basic tools
• Outperforms conventional CMA in strength and durability
• Readily installed in new or older buildings, including in walls of varying thicknesses with rough and non-plumb openings, without structural modifications or wall anchoring
• Designed to resist blasts, ballistic threats, and forced entry attempts when closed and locked
• Can be opened to provide ventilation, visibility, egress, and ability to return fire
• Achieves ±¼ inch accuracy in bead width, enabling high-fidelity printing of complex geometries and structural features
• Dynamically adjusts gantry speed and pump settings to accommodate different material properties and design requirements
• Designed for expeditionary and remote use, ensures reliable performance in variable environments
• Uses DNA-wrapped carbon nanotubes and an enzyme-mediated process to link individual nanotubes into visible macroscopic structures without damage
• Solves manipulation challenge through controlled biological process, preserving nanotubes' superior strength, electrical conductivity, and thermal properties for practical use
• Enables high-performance structural materials for aerospace/automotive, advanced electronics requiring superior conductivity, and applications needing exceptional strength-to-weight ratios and thermal properties
• Captures 2D velocity maps across large areas
• Uses compact, simpler equipment for easy field use
• Supports comprehensive flow analysis in rivers, coastal areas, and industrial water systems
• Ensures access across lighter convey waves, bridging systems, and austere sites
• Achieves full-scale trafficability testing, rapid prototyping, and performance objectives
• Provides an affordable option for rapid deployment of a trafficable roadway by a small crew in austere coastal environments
• Distinct CNC programming digitally creates expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) blocks that can be easily employed to create more detailed and accurate bathymetric models than traditional concrete
• EPS foam blocks can be easily and rapidly placed and removed in situ, allowing prototype refinement, use in limited space areas, and storage
• Using EPS reduces construction costs by 30-60% and allows up to 60% faster construction time compared with concrete modeling
• Over-bridge free spans (e.g. damaged piers or bridges)
• Side-load or end-load railcars anywhere along the line
• Deploy on uneven surfaces and compromised preexisting structures
• Assembles quickly without the need for power tools or heavy machinery
• Recoverable and reconfigure
• Stops large vehicles upon contact
• Place or recover in less than 30 minutes
• Integrates into QuadCon for easy storage, transport and deployment
• No specialized equipment or tools required
• Blocks areas of any size with incrementally linkable 8'-width units
• Armored panel system provides ballistic and blast protection
• Set up in less than 30 minutes with no anchoring, special tools or equipment required
• Lightweight, portable and easy to transport
• Customizable to nearly any room width and height
• Demonstrated higher performance (100 passes of an F15-E) in all temperatures than cold-mix asphalt
• Pre-packaged in 5-gallon buckets
• Effectively unlimited shelf life
• Lower installed cost than factory-provided hot mix or cold mix
• Stops vehicles on contact
• Easy to store, reconfigure, or redeploy
• Quick and simple on-site assembly
• Multiple barriers can be connected together
• No specialized tools or training necessary
• 3D printed kit-of-parts for rigid, protective shelter
• Designed to be lightweight, reusable and easily transportable
• Easy to assemble and disassemble on-site
• No tools required
• Multiple configurations for broad applications
• Improves the safety and extends the life of concrete structures
• Reinforces concrete joints up to sixfold
• Protects from salt corrosion
• Reduces the need for costly maintenance and repair
• Custom-build any structure, any size, on-site in a fraction of the time
• Reduces shipping of building materials by half
• Reduces manpower requirements by 62% as compared to plywood
• Ballistic and blast protection that expands to any length
• Self-contained, collapsible, recoverable, and repairable for optimized logistics
• Easy to assemble,works on uneven terrain
• No power or special equipment required
