To finalize development of a new, lightweight Quick Erect Antenna Mast (QEAM) and to supply DOD with 50 prototype units for evaluations. The DOD has a requirement to improve the current design of the 10-Meter Antenna Mast. The current design is heavy, bulky, and requires two persons to deploy in ground applications. Clover’s innovative, lightweight, antenna mast design will provide the agile DOD warfighter with the ability to transport longer distances, reduce energy consumption, and deploy more quickly in man portable situations.

Currently most UAV's are powered with avaiation fuel, which is costly to ship to the front lines. By developing an airplane engine that can run on deisel it will save the Pentagon money as well as reduce the logistics load. European designs for similar engines are much more expensive than Deltahawk's.

As the military pushes for more cutting edge materials for vehicles, these harder and stronger materials are getting more expensive to produce. One of the problems of really strong materials is that they are hard to cut and machine. This project will develop a liquid nitrogen cooling system so the cutting high tech materials will be easier and cheaper.
Recipient: McNally Industries
Location: Grantsburg
Amount Requested: $2,750,000
This project is intended to overhaul and upgrade the ammo system for the Mk45 gun used on DDG-51 Destroyers. McNally is the OEM and in production on the system. Ships will be in port for other overhauls so this is the most efficient time to do the work.
