CL-20 COOPERATIVE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY POC Martha Harrington, Code 474G00D, (619) 927-1910. The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division has developed CL-20, a new high-energy, high-density energetic material. We are now looking for an industrial partner for a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to conduct joint research and development and to expedite technology transfer of Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division innovations. The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division is interested primarily in the military explosive and propellant applications, and is looking to industry to exploit the military and/or the commercial potential of this material in an effort to make it more affordable for military applications. A cooperative research and development effort for the CL-20 technology can include Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division related explosive and propellant technologies. The Government may grant an exclusive or a partially exclusive license on federally owned inventions developed under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement. Interested parties must submit a two to three page white paper describing the cooperative arrangement envisioned. This paper must include the industrial partner's plan for scale-up of the production process and commercial exploitation, what technologies and data they are willing to share with the government as well as physical and financial assets they bring to the partnership. The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division will provide a listing of CL-20 related patents upon request to interested parties. 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 governments, small and large United States businesses, non-profit organizations and such public service organizations as schools, hospitals and foundations. Navy domestic technology transfer is intended to provide unique services not available from or in competition with the private sector. Under the Navy Domestic Technology Transfer Program, the Government is permitted to receive funds from a non-Federal party. For more information contact the Technology Transfer Office, Code 474G00D, at, the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, China Lake, CA 93555-6001, phone number (619) 927-1910. 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.
