United States | NATO DIANA Energy & Power 2026
Bio-inspired composite structures (mantis shrimp technology) that are 74% stronger and 50% more impact-resistant than conventional composites.
NATO DIANA 2026 Cohort
Helicoid Industries manufactures bio-inspired composite materials mimicking the mantis shrimp's club structure. UC Riverside spinoff.
74% delayed catastrophic failure, 50% higher impact strength, 92% increased load-bearing. No new materials required. Navy SBIR funded. CalTestBed validated for wind energy.
Battery storage enclosures and modular DC panels benefit from stronger, more impact-resistant composites at no additional material cost.
No additional material cost. Manufacturing cost increase minimal. 50-92% performance improvement. Weight reduction potential.
TRL 6-7 -- Prototypes validated. SBIR-funded defense development.
Helicoid Industries manufactures bio-inspired composites mimicking mantis shrimp. 74% delayed failure, 50% impact strength, 92% load-bearing. Same fiber materials. UC Riverside spinoff. Navy SBIR. US-based. NATO DIANA 2026.
