A -- NON-TOXIC HYPERGOLIC MISCIBLE FUELS (NHMF) LICENSING OPPORTUNITY POC Martha H. Harrington, Code 4BT100D, (760) 927-1910 KEYWORD: NON-TOXIC HYPERGOLIC MISCIBLE FUELS (NHMF) LICENSING OPPORTUNITY, POC Martha H. Harrington, Code 4BT100D, (760) 927-1910. SUMMARY: The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division,(NAWCWPNS),China Lake, CA has discovered a class of revolutionary non-toxic hypergolic miscible fuels (NHMF) for use with a rocket grade hydrogen peroxide (RGHP) oxidizer. Traditionally, conventional hypergolic bipropellants are either extremely toxic or carcinogenic, hence the need for the NHMF/RGHP class of propellants. These new synthesized fuels are true polar solutions, non-toxic, economical, and, most importantly, have actual hypergolic ignition delays in the millisecond region. It is recommended that these candidate fuels be further considered for use in Divert ACS, Orbit Transfer, and Large Launch Vehicle applications, as well as use in stationary and motive heat engines which require economical, high energy, and environmentally renewable propellants. The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division will provide a listing of 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, nonprofit organizations and such public service organizations as schools, hospitals and foundations. For more information contact the Technology Transfer Office, Code 4BT100D, at the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, (CHINA LAKE), CA 93555-6100, PHONE (760) 927-1910. This announcement 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.
