Multidisciplinary Approach to Innovation First round funding brief

March, 2014

Alan Yarborough President & CEO

Allotrope Sciences Corporation

Radical innovation in support of National Security

CEO - why I am here

● set the company’s strategy and vision ● build a premiere, aggressive team and a culture that

inspires creativity and innovation ● maintain sufficient funding to support the strategy ● set the budget and manage resources to ensure

Allotrope remains robust and capable

Mission● pursue high risk projects in pursuit of high payoff ● address a wide range of technology opportunities and national

security challenges ● manage a portfolio of projects that are finite while creating changes

that will shape future warfare - enable the war fighter to own the battlefield

● manage the final development and commercialization of novel technologies

● find and exploit externally generated ideas ● identify, engage and leverage a variety of experts and stakeholders ● aggressively explore new technologies and capabilities while

considering potential societal implications

Objectives

● develop breakthrough technologies in support of national security

● manage the company, it’s assets and processes for maximum efficiency to ensure growth and a good

return for investors

Values

● be bold - boldly pursue technology that can be fielded and integrated quickly

● be fast - make an impact NOW. ● be smart - novel concepts to reshape and own the

battle space ● be mindful - respect the environment and consider

how our technologies will impact society

Current Projects● BAM - developed to provide high temperature destructive power with

existing long-range rifles. The FragFire™ bullet has armor piercing capability to penetrate light vehicle armor and building materials. Non-penetrating components of the bullet core are designed to fragment upon impact with hard targets and ignite. These particles burn at white hot temperatures while ricocheting off hard surfaces.

● Maximizes penetration and behind armor effect / Minimizes collateral and environmental damage.

Why BAM?

● inert - less expensive to handle, store and transport ● more environmentally friendly - no lead - no DU ● International Humanitarian Law rule 78 compliant

BAM for projectiles is at a high technology readiness level. Projectiles have been tested and fired successfully.

ARMS

Structurally Sound Reactive Materials: “ARMS”

– A material system that is comprised of aluminum with high density inclusions

– A material system that comes apart on impact and releases energy but has static structural strength

– The casing contributes to the energy

– Drastically reduces the weight of munitions

ARMS - the next step

ARMS for structural reactive components is at a somewhat lower technology readiness level

– Additional materials engineering work to increase technology readiness– Market survey especially for UAV/UCAV market munitionsdevelopment– Targeted development– Materials and component production ramp up

We will forge ahead aggressively and relentlessly to ensure the war fighters are as well equipped as possible, as quickly as possible.
