Place of Performance:

Description

PIE will develop the tools and processing methods to safely turn locally available materials into reliable energetics, then enable the production of fieldable warheads and rocket motors. Performers will create a flexible, robust, and agile manufacturing platform for the production of energetics from locally available material (industrial chemicals to crude oil). Performers will leverage innovative chemical processing and manufacturing controls to dramatically drive down the timeframes and scale needed for production from days to hours and from full-scale factories to containers. Performers will work with diverse input materials and conversion methodologies to continually increase rate, diversity, and quality of energetic output.
