Performance engineering. Revolutionary results.

Lean on us to solve your toughest engineering problems. For military and homeland security markets, we provide a broad range of engineering service to bring next-generation products to life. Listed below are just some of the programs in which we’ve made a difference. These programs range from development of large military vehicles to small electronic packages - and many challenges in between. You’ll find that New World is a leader in the development of engineered solutions for extreme conditions.

We invite you to check our capabilities below.

Advanced Prosthetic and Robotic Devices

New World is working under contract to Johns Hopkins University/Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL) to develop the world’s most advanced prosthetic arm. This program, sponsored by DARPA for the benefit of our returning soldiers, aims to develop an arm with 22 degrees of freedom that will mimic the movement of a natural limb and allow the user to have a sense of touch, temperature and spatial location. For its part, New World is developing system designs and novel mechanical components including motors and clutches that will meet the challenging weight, performance, and power requirements of this program.

Beyond this program, New World is applying advanced mechanical and systems engineering to a number of related areas. Our areas of pursuit include medical and assistive devices as well as robotic applications - such as bomb disposal - where a robotic arm under teleoperated control can perform the dangerous work of a disposal technician.

Military Vehicles

New World has completed a wide range of complex vehicle design projects that draw upon the automotive design expertise of their staff. Our experience with military vehicles includes structural design and analysis; reduction of noise, vibration and harshness (NVH); and dynamic analysis under a variety of operational conditions.

For the U.S. Navy, we perform research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) for military vehicles engaged in counter-IED applications. New World was tasked to package an existing mine-clearing vehicle with all new electronic equipment. This project includes design, fabrication, and testing of prototype hardware, design of maintenance fixtures, and support for vehicle deployment.

For the U.S. Army, New World provided the engineering solution for a gunsight vibration problem on the Abrams M1A2 tank. We conducted finite element analysis (FEA) and used experimental data to assess the vibration characteristics at a range of tank speeds. From this analysis, New World suggested design modifications that were applied to both existing tanks and new ones in production.

For the U.S. Marine Corps, New World developed a next-generation air filtration system to protect the crew of the Light Armored Vehicle (LAV) from airborne chemical and biological warfare agents. Drawing from our corporate experience in this program area, New World developed a lightweight filter system with an integrated fan to withstand harsh battlefield conditions.

Electronic Packaging

New World has substantial experience in the design, fabrication, and testing of enclosures and packaging solutions for electronic and sensor systems. We design custom packages to survive extreme environmental conditions, including shock, vibration, thermal cycling, and high humidity. We also design custom packages to allow for a variety of deployment techniques, including hand-emplacement and air-drop deployment in remote locations.

We approach custom packaging projects according to our product development process, which involves design, prototyping, testing, and transition to production. Our competency results not only from our experience, but with our ability to completely design, analyze and prototype in a 3D environment using state-of-the-art engineering and rapid prototyping tools. Using this process, we have developed electronic and sensor packages in the following areas: handheld logistics and sensor tracking, weather monitoring, and surveillance.

Mail Security

Our work in chemical and biological air filtration systems extends to the homeland security market and mail security systems. For years, New World has been developing facilities, processes, and equipment to improve the safety and security of mail processing systems. A main focus of our work has been the design and implementation of air management and control systems for mail handling equipment, such as sorting machines, as well as the surrounding environment in which operators are stationed.

New World has developed specialized equipment for mail handling facilities, including joggers, jogger controls, and aerosol concentrators. We provide a range of life-cycle maintenance and support services for mail security equipment and systems through our Field Services team.

Chem-Bio Detection Systems

New World has supplied engineering services to develop mechanical subsystems and packages for a variety of chemical and biological warfare agent detectors. Our portfolio of experience includes the Shipboard ACADA, the Joint Biological Remote Early Warning System (JBREWS), and Joint Biological Point Detection System (JBPDS).

In addition to the mechanical design and packaging of these systems, we have developed, built, and tested aerosol concentrators, automated assay handling systems, and disposable assay cartridges.
