Active funded programs

Funded programs turning material effects into prototype hardware.

Four active SBIR/STTR programs are executing against funded milestones across USMC, NAVSEA, and ONR. Each program connects material behavior, delivery architecture, prototype hardware, and measured performance against sponsor-defined requirements. Public summaries are intentionally high-level; detailed scope is shared under NDA with qualified government and prime-contractor partners.

USMC Stand-Off Non-Lethal Immobilization (TacFOAM)

Need
Backpack-portable capability for rapid, targeted, removable non-lethal immobilization of personnel, animals, equipment, and small platforms at distance.
Output
Formulation, dispensing hardware, target-interaction characterization, and measured stand-off performance developed together toward transition-relevant prototype hardware.
Status
Active USMC Phase II engagement.
USMC Active · Phase I

USMC Counter-Drone & Vehicle Stopping

Need
Non-lethal capability to immobilize drones, ground vehicles, and infrastructure at distance — including drone-mounted delivery configurations.
Output
Adapted material platform, deployable dispensing concepts, and bench-scale dynamic-stopping performance against representative moving assemblies.
Status
Active USMC Phase I engagement.
ONR Active · Phase II

ONR Warfighter Recovery Materials

Need
Improved sleep and recovery materials for warfighters — thin-format topper systems with superior pressure redistribution and fire/smoke/toxicity resistance.
Output
Full prototype mattresses delivered in early Phase II, integrating MacroVation’s composite topper with multiple support-core systems — followed by a controlled sleep study validating recovery and performance outcomes.
Status
Active ONR Phase II engagement.
05 How we operate

Four programs, one operating pattern.

MacroVation programs are managed around a repeatable path: material behavior → delivery architecture → prototype hardware → measured performance → transition-relevant deliverables.

01

Prototype hardware on every program

Each active program produces hardware, testable outputs, or transition-relevant demonstrations — not just analysis.

02

Measured performance gates

Programs are managed against sponsor-defined requirements, funded milestones, and measurable performance data.

03

Consistent technical ownership

A single technical leadership chain connects formulation, hardware, validation, and sponsor communication across the active program portfolio.

04

Built for transition

Programs are structured to support handoff discussions with sponsors, primes, and program offices — with two prior deep-tech exits (Haleos, NuvoTronics) demonstrating the path.

06 Engagement

Built for the path from funded R&D to transition-ready prototype systems.

MacroVation manages active programs against funded milestones, measurable performance gates, and prototype-oriented deliverables. We turn government requirements into testable material-enabled systems, prototype hardware, and performance data that support transition discussions with qualified government, prime-contractor, and acquisition partners.
