Problem
Defense missions often require specialized material effects and delivery systems that demand tight integration between chemistry, hardware, and performance validation. Traditional development chains separate these disciplines, slowing iteration and risking prototype systems that fail to meet sponsor-defined requirements in real-world conditions.
Solution
MacroVation provides an integrated hardware-and-chemistry systems approach, engineering controlled material effects, composite tooling, and warfighter recovery systems as one path from early formulation through prototype demonstration. The company operates a 9,000 sq. ft. engineering facility where formulation, prototype fabrication, test-fixture development, and performance validation occur under one roof, enabling material chemistry, hardware, and test data to evolve together. MacroVation executes active SBIR/STTR programs with USMC, NAVSEA, and ONR, delivering prototype hardware and measured performance data against sponsor-defined requirements at every milestone. Its non-lethal biofoam technology was selected for the 2026–2027 Navy SBIR Transition Program cohort, advancing it toward field-deployable capability.
Target Audience
Primary customers are U.S. government defense agencies including USMC, NAVSEA, and ONR, as well as prime-contractor partners working under NDA on funded SBIR/STTR programs.
