As a result of a 2004 $2.4 million grant from the Department of Defense for blast mitigation and perimeter protection testing and development, Kontek Industries partnered with the University of Missouri. This partnership is centered around an interdisciplinary research, design, test, and evaluation team composed of the Rock Mechanics and Explosives Research Center and the Department of Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering at the University of Missouri-Rolla, and the Department of Architectural Design and the National Center for Explosion Resistant Design at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
