M2 and FirstLink Promote Vehicle Stopping Foam
M2 Technologies, Inc. is working with FirstLink to promote the Urban Operations Laboratory (UOL) Vehicle Stopping Foam technology. FirstLink helps the Department of Defense connect with private sector companies and entrepreneurs to advance technologies for our nation’s First Responders. The goal of the alliance is to identify developmental partners for the design and prototype of a dispensing mechanism for the UOL’s Vehicle Stopping Foam. The Vehicle Stopping Foam works to provide a stand-off system of minimum lethality for stopping a vehicle’s engine through its air induction system. The prototype foam has no known environmental implications and is equally effective against gas and diesel engines.

M2's Owners Make Special Contribution to Aid Disabled US Veterans
Spring Loaded aka 'Duallie' (like the truck), a seven year old Morgan gelding sired by UVM Springfield and out of Stonemere Caprice and raised at Paradise Morgans in Versailles, KY is now in residence at the Central Kentucky Riding For Hope facility (www.ckrh.org) on the grounds of the Kentucky Horse Park, Lexington, KY, site of the 2010 Alltech World Equestrian Games coming in October of this year. Riding For Hope joins an alliance of equine therapy providers seeking to offer comprehensive equine therapy options to disabled US veterans. Duallie's proud owners, Chris and Janet Morris, donated him to CKRH only after he qualified by passing rigorous suitability tests. For his new job at CKRH, Duallie has begun a ninety day orientation program to prepare him to help a broad spectrum of patients with disabilities ranging from physical to emotional issues. If you visit the Kentucky Horse Park, stop by Riding For Hope and say hello to this remarkable equine caregiver.
M2 Participates in Congressional Delegation Reception
For the fourth year in a row, M2 Technologies, Inc. (M2) participated in Kansas State University's (KSU) Congressional Delegation Reception in Washington, DC. M2's strong relationship with this academic research partner has resulted in an opportunity to integrate and coordinate congressional support actions. M2 and KSU leadership made joint visits to the defense legislative staff at each of the offices comprising the Kansas Delegation. M2 is the only industry partner invited by KSU to participate at this level, underscoring the value KSU places on the solid working relationship they share with M2.
Technology Delivered to NSWC Dahlgren
The Tactical Mobility Consortium of M2 Technologies, Inc. successfully delivered the Fragment Infrared Tracking System (Frag-IT) to Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Dahlgren on 29 October 2009. The delivery of Frag-IT completed a 92 day contract to convert two Anti-Sniper Targeting Systems into a Frag-IT systems for NSWC Dahlgren's arena testing efforts.
Sustainable Approach to Developing Game-Changing Technologies
The Urban Operations Laboratory (UOL), a partnership between M2 Technologies, Kansas State University, and CABEM Technologies, will highlight several technology research and development efforts and overview sustainable technology design approaches at the Environment, Energy Security, and Sustainability Symposium (E2S2) conference in Denver in June 2010. The sustainable, “game-changing” technologies increase resource levels for the mission, at a reasonable cost, while protecting and saving lives and the environment. Power systems, lightweight materials, and autonomous monitoring systems and sensors are priority technologies. The UOL also conducts environmental assessments of developing technologies, using environmental professionals and the Environmental Knowledge and Assessment Tool (EKAT) software. Use of EKAT minimizes labor hours and resources, offering an economical approach to meeting environmental requirements and reporting.
