Surrey's Advanced Material Development's joint venture with US Army gets funding boost
An ongoing collaboration between Guildford-based nanotechnology specialist Advanced Material Development and the US Army has been extended with the help of funding from the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD).
Funding from the OSD derives from the Foreign Comparative Testing (FCT) programme, a US-governmental scheme aiming to find, assess and field innovative products with a high Technology Readiness Level (TRL).

It enables the US Department of Defense to bypass the capability development cycle by enabling the test and evaluation of mature foreign developed technology to determine procurement alternatives for existing or emerging requirements.
Richard Lee, Chief Commercial Officer of AMD says “This core Advanced Material Development technology has been developed with the support of the US Army.
“This new OSD funding moves the project into its fourth year and is a clear example of AMD’s ability to advance its nanomaterials technologies towards real end applications.”
