The company aims to protect service members from continuous exposure to electromagnetic radiation emitted by advanced military communications systems. CEO Arthur Menard Calenge expressed excitement about the partnership and the opportunity to support the Air Force in protecting those who serve.
The STTR award is part of the DAF’s Open Topic program, fostering collaboration between small businesses and defense agencies. AFWERX has awarded over 6,200 contracts since 2018 to drive rapid innovation in defense technology. HAVN, formerly known as Lambs, continues to innovate in personal protection technology with its EMF-blocking clothing worn by elite athletes and defense professionals alike.
