Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom)
Altair Nanotechnologies also has relationships with the United States Department of Defense (DOD) and the Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom) (MoD). The DOD relationships include providing a battery backup system to replace the otherwise continuously running diesel turbine generators on United States Navy vessels, such as the Arleigh Burke class destroyer, and United States Army batteries for the M119 howitzer. The U.K. MoD relationship is via BAE Systems Marine Limited for which Altair is producing a battery system for submarine power and propulsion.
