A -- HOMOGENEOUS NON-TOXIC HYPERGOLIC MISCIBLE FUEL COOPERATIVE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (CRADA) OPPORTUNITY POC Martha Harrington, CODE 4T1100D, (760) 927-1910 KEYWORD: CHINA LAKE HOMOGENEOUS NON-TOXIC HYPERGOLIC MISCIBLE FUEL COOPERATIVE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (CRADA) OPPORTUNITY POC: Martha H. Harrington, Code 4T1100D, (760) 927-1910 SUMMARY: The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, China Lake, CA (NAWCWPNS) is seeking Industry/Government partners to identify applications for homogeneous non-toxic hypergolic miscible fuel (NHMF)/hydrogen peroxide propellant systems. Navy scientists have patent applications on a NHMF/Hydrogen peroxide system that is comparable in performance to current toxic liquid systems used in the propulsion industry. It is the intention of the China Lake site of NAWCWPNS to enter into Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs) with Industry/Government partners to further characterize performance and applicability of this new fuel system. The objectives of Navy domestic technology transfer are: (1) to disseminate technology originally developed in support of military applications for potential alternative uses in the public and private sectors; (2) to provide joint cooperative development programs that address problems of critical concern to the Navy and other agencies or organizations; and (3) to leverage research and development opportunities of mutual interest to the Navy and industrial organizations. In pursuit of these objectives the Navy transfers technology to other Federal Government agencies, state and local government, small and large United States businesses, non-profit organizations and such public service organizations as schools, hospitals and foundations. Under the Federal Domestic Technology Transfer Program, the Government is permitted to receive funds from a non-Federal party. However, the Government is not permitted to fund a non-Federal party. The primary focus of this announcement is to invite interested parties to contact NAWCWPNS Energy Conversion Office to arrange an appointment to discuss the technology and it's application to specific needs. Those interested in initiating dialogue should send their response to: Commander, NAWCWPNS, Attn: C. J. Meade (Code 4734FOD), 1 Administration Circle, China Lake, CA 93555-6100. Telephone: (760) 939-7495, E-Mail: carol-meade@clplgw.chinalake.navy.mil All responses to this CBD ad are due by 11/15/98. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute an RFB or RFP. It is not a commitment by the Government and is not expected to lead to contracts to be let by the Government. Posted 10/14/98 (I-SN261762). (0287)
