Our work in the national security arena builds on 50 years of shock-wave research at Washington State University’s Institute for Shock Physics.

Advanced materials:
Using our advanced-materials expertise, we have helped the U.S. Department of Defense develop methods for resisting and mitigating damage from high-velocity impacts, explosive blasts, and other rapid impulsive loading.

Energetic materials:
Several governmental and commercial entities have drawn on our ability to design and develop safe, effective energetic materials.
