Active federally funded defense programs
Concurrent execution across USMC, NAVSEA, and ONR programs.
From molecule to mission
We build the chemistry, delivery hardware, and performance validation together — from early formulation through prototype demonstration — for non-lethal effects, composite tooling, and warfighter recovery systems. Sponsors evaluate prototype hardware, measured performance, and program-ready data built around funded mission needs.
Chemistry, delivery hardware, and performance validation built as one integrated system — when mission outcome depends on all three.
MacroVation, LLC is the federal contracting entity for defense and dual-use systems work, operating under NuvoNexus, LLC.
High-pressure reactor under blast shielding — one of the formulation, delivery, and test fixtures running across active programs.
Each pathway is built around a delivery architecture, measured performance, and a deployable system output.
01
Composite tooling surface
Precision tooling and prototype hardware for programs where geometry, surface quality, and dimensional control drive system-level performance.

02
Controlled formulation
Chemistry, flow behavior, delivery architecture, and final structure developed against the same performance targets — bench behavior tied to deployable hardware.

03
Precision delivery
Integrated material-effect delivery systems for sponsor-defined defense applications, where chemistry, hardware, target interaction, and performance measurement share a single design baseline.

Public summaries are intentionally high-level; technical scope is shared under NDA with qualified partners and government POs.

Material preparation, test fixtures, and characterization owned end-to-end.
Each program ships prototype hardware with measured performance against sponsor-defined specs — on a schedule, with the data to back it.
Two prior company exits, 125+ patents, and DARPA Phase I–III execution at the leadership level.
Materials are the differentiator. Systems are the product.
Prior: founded NuvoTronics (acquired by Cubic Corporation, 2019) and Haleos (acquired by Rohm & Haas, 2002). 125+ patents. Currently leading MacroVation across four federal programs.
MacroVation engages with government program offices, defense primes, platform integrators, and strategic partners seeking material systems engineered to defense performance requirements for transition, evaluation, or coordination.
