Resodyn Corp., headquartered in Butte, recently received a $13.2 million award under the Naval Energetic Systems and Technologies’ Other Transaction Agreements Program. The corporation invents, develops and markets technologies that solve tough material processing challenges.
According to a news release, the NEST program is critical in enabling the U.S. Navy and the entire U.S. Department of Defense to address current and future security threats in the surface, subsurface, air, ground, littoral and expeditionary environments. NEST offers competitive federally funded research and business opportunities for large and small companies and universities.
Resodyn’s successful proposal revolves around the engineering design, development, testing and construction of two systems for the Naval Surface Warfare Center. These systems consist of a continuous acoustic chemical reactor and a continuous acoustic crystallizer system that are the focal points of pilot scale research and development efforts for the ultimate purpose of processing energetic materials.

Applications for the products to be developed and produced with these systems include both conventional and advanced munitions, explosives, propellants and pyrotechnics. The delivery of these systems is slated for April 2026.
Joe Mayne, Resodyn’s senior chemical engineer and the project’s principal investigator, said the research and development on these two unique processes has been ongoing at Resodyn for the last couple of years.
“Extensive bench scale testing on these systems has been consistent and repeatable,” said Mayne. “This early activity of discovery and development laid the groundwork for the award of the contract by the U.S. Navy to Resodyn.”
Lawrence Farrar, Resodyn president and CEO, noted that the U.S. Navy contract with Resodyn is a result of the company’s development of advanced mixing technology capabilities over the past several years.
“This project will not only result in sales of these systems to the DoD and their suppliers, but this new technology development also has broad applications in the global industrial manufacturing sector,” said Farrar, “hence, enabling continued business growth and employment for Resodyn in Butte, Montana.”
