Benet Laboratories
Benet Laboratories is a Department of the Army research, development and engineering facility located at the Watervliet Arsenal. Benet Labs is recognized world-wide as a Center of Excellence for gun design, structural and dynamic analysis, application of advanced materials and composites, and laboratory simulations ranging from gun firing phenomena to static and dynamic load testing, as well as environmental testing.
A full compliment of modern laboratory equipment, along with a highly trained staff of scientists, engineers, and technicians enables Benet to be a world leader in innovative technology and applications.
The Partnership can help foster your companies relationship with Benet, including the formation of a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA).
CRADAs are structured to offer the nonfederal partner an opportunity to leverage its resources with those of the federal laboratory by sharing the costs of research for the development of products. The nonfederal partner may provide funds, personnel, services, equipment, facilities, intellectual property, or other resources needed to conduct a specific research or development effort. The federal laboratory may provide similar resources but may not directly provide federal funds to the nonfederal CRADA partner.
