NNAN and Defense Advanced Research Program Agency (DARPA) Holy Crap wait a minute you said NNAN - "and introduce several new products for current and potential customers." "an advanced material used in armor" then from todays PR

Booooooooooooooooooom Read Below This new hybrid armour, which will be manufactured by NanoRidge customer Riley Solutions Inc., (RSI) has been selected by the Defense Advanced Research Program Agency (DARPA)

NaturalNano has established a strategic relationship to develop an advanced material used in armor that incorporates NNAN’s proprietary Halloysite NanoTubes (HNT). Our nano-scale additive is highly reliable and increases the yield strength. As a result of this collaboration, the first product utilizing HNT in the armor market has recently shipped to customers. We are excited to be a part of this kick off and look forward to a long term relationship with the marketer and many future orders for our HNT.

Guess who sits on the Scientific Advisory Board for NNAN David J. Arthur and owns SouthWest NanoTechnologies.
Look what was found HUGE....
SouthWest NanoTechnologies Carbon Nanotubes Being Used in Enhanced Body Armour

SouthWest NanoTechnologies, Inc. (SWeNT) the leading manufacturer of single-wall and Specialty Multi-Wall (SMW™) carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is manufacturing specialty multi-wall carbon nanotubes for NanoRidge Materials, Inc. These CNTs are being incorporated into enhanced body armour to improve protection of soldiers and law enforcement officers from small arms fire.


SWeNT's SMW100 will be used in a highly advanced nanotechnology application to create stronger, lighter armour that fundamentally improves its resistance to impact and reduces the penetration depth of a bullet.
This new hybrid armour, which will be manufactured by NanoRidge customer Riley Solutions Inc., (RSI) has been selected by the[n] Defense Advanced Research Program Agency (DARPA)[/n] to undergo rigorous testing and evaluation against the most destructive small arms fire.
"Once it has passed testing, the armour will provide U.S. military and law enforcement personnel better, lighter and less costly armour than has been available before," explains Kyle Kissell Ph.D, and RSI's Technical Advisor. "NanoRidge selected SWeNT's SMW100 after evaluating many different products and believes that its characteristics and commercial scalability will meet the needs of our nation's protectors while saving lives."
"SouthWest NanoTechnologies is proud to be providing NanoRidge and Riley Solutions with SMW100 for use in these groundbreaking, nano-enhanced armor products," explains SWeNT CEO Dave Arthur. "Our patented CoMoCAT® process enables us to produce the desired quality and at a cost and in quantities needed to meet the sizable demand that is expected."
"SWeNT SMW100 is an excellent choice for this armour application because it is affordable, easy to disperse in polymers, and forms extremely robust networks that enhance the structural performance of the composites," says NanoRidge CEO Chris Lundberg. "Additionally, SWeNT's domestic production and proven ability to deliver consistent quality are critical for the Department of Defense."

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) was established in 1958 to prevent strategic surprise from negatively impacting U.S. national security and create strategic surprise for U.S. adversaries by maintaining the technological superiority of the U.S. military.

To fulfill its mission, the Agency relies on diverse performers to apply multi-disciplinary approaches to both advance knowledge through basic research and create innovative technologies that address current practical problems through applied research. DARPA’s scientific investigations span the gamut from laboratory efforts to the creation of full-scale technology demonstrations in the fields of biology, medicine, computer science, chemistry, physics, engineering, mathematics, material sciences, social sciences, neurosciences and more. As the DoD’s primary innovation engine, DARPA undertakes projects that are finite in duration but that create lasting revolutionary change.
