Energetics Technology Development

Energetic Systems

The ETC will continue the work already underway at the CECD on Energetic Systems.

   
Lean Manufacturing

The ETC will continue the work already underway at the CECD on Lean Manufacturing processes.

   
MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems)

These devices are miniature mechanical sensors and integrated processing circuits that combine sensing and actuating capabilities on one computer chip. MEMS devices are being incorporated as components in ordnance and ordnance systems, making it possible to monitor ordnance items and both perceive and control the battlefield.

   
Processing Technology

The ETC will continue the work already underway at the CECD on developing Processing Technology.

   

Workforce Development and Outreach

In cooperation with the University of Maryland College Park (UMCP) and the College of Southern Maryland (CSM), the ETC will provide classroom space and training tools to educate the Energetics workforce of the future, including qualified technicians and scientists and engineers with advanced degrees in Energetics.
 
An outreach program for K-12 will emphasize science and mathematics to better prepare students to pursue a career in energetics.

Technology Transfer

The ETC will establish a separate technology transfer group in collaboration with its partners.
