The purpose of the agreement is to cooperatively test and evaluate the mPhase Smart Nano battery and ultrasensitive magnetometer. The army researchers will further evaluate the prototypes using the Army's testing facilities at Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey in order to potentially incorporate the technologies into programs sponsored by Picatinny.

Some of the possible uses for the mPhase magnetometer are perimeter security applications, and navigation and GPS-denied navigation applications. The potential military uses of the Smart Nanobattery include powering small electronics such as sensors, as well as a potential power source for smart munitions.
