What the grant funds
The Ice Control for cold Environments (ICE) program seeks to develop solutions for extreme cold weather DoD operational challenges by discovering and optimizing biologically sourced or inspired molecules to enable tuned inhibition or nucleation of ice crystallization, propagation, and adhesion. The best performing molecules identified during the discovery phase will subsequently be formulated to develop novel materials with enhanced operational performance, tailored to mitigate extreme cold weather challenges for specific DoD applications, and tested based on stakeholder needs and priorities.
