No I never said anything of the sort and you can do your own DD on their relationship, I was merely pointing out the growing demand in India for a Green NIPU product, Dr. Mannari was just a bonus mention.
Do you absolutely believe that a 500k award to "develop" a NIPU product in one year is even feasible? Hell no, its taken decades and millions of dollars (ask anyone on this board whos been here more than a year) to do such a thing with design, development, testing and deployment. What the DoD is looking for is a coating, formulated on a NIPU base that meets or exceeds current applications. Dr. Mannari has the ability to obtain such products, I'm sure even HCTI's, to do such testing without re-inventing the wheel.
Think what you want clark, just don't be so quick to judge what's being said without looking at the big picture and doing some DD.
Back to my Sunday, give it a rest.
