Greenhill AntiBallistics Awarded 5-year Research and Development Agreement with U.S. Special Operations Command
Force Disruption Platform™ (FDP)
FDP reduces force of impact 50% in the thickness of a dime. A coating or layer, FDP is nanoscale, reinforces existing protection, and uses force against itself. Current top tier materials are macroscale, inert and cannot match FDP at the same size, thickness and weight.

GREENHILLL ANTIBALLISTICS CORPORATION Awarded Research and Development Agreement with U.S. Special Operations Command
Greenhill AntiBallistics Corporation, a nanotechnology materials company, announces its 5-year Cooperation Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) for its Force Disruption Platform™ (FDP) material to reduce force of impact 50% in the thickness of a dime (1 mm). Under the CRADA, Greenhill AntiBallistics will develop unique solution sets to bridge USSOCOM technology interest areas. The CRADA was signed after the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) vetted the technology and issued a Letter of Intent.
Greenhill AntiBallistics’ mission is to protect troops, children and athletes against brain damage and blunt trauma in the military and sports to save lives. FDP reduces the force of impact 50% in a nanocomposite the thickness of a dime (1 mm). A coating or layer, FDP is nanoscale, reinforces existing protection, and uses force against itself. Current top tier materials are macroscale, inert and cannot match FDP’s force of impact reduction at the same size, thickness, and weight. Greenhill AntiBallistics’ goal is to integrate FDP into military helmets and body armor, sports helmets and padding, and other protection. Greenhill AntiBallistics is aggressively seeking consumer-facing partners.
“The CRADA is a critical opportunity to extend Greenhill AntiBallistics’ commercial operational technology to our Special Operations Forces, which are elite units drawn from the Army, Marines, Navy, and Air Force. These men and women are the tip of the spear. They need and deserve the best protection possible,” says Judy Lee Greenhill, Greenhill AntiBallistics’ Chief Executive Officer.
“FDP gives our Special Operators a high-value operational capability for safety and protection overmatch against current and evolving threats. It can be reconfigured to meet these threats and retrofit in the field, without the need for redesign and retooling. Is there a military commander, parent or coach who doesn’t want state-of-the-art protection for their troops, children, and athletes? We’ve never found one,” says Zach Greenhill, Greenhill AntiBallistics’ Chief Technology Strategist.
