AAPlasma LLC Showcases Non-Thermal Plasma Systems at 2026 DLA Supply Chain Alliance Symposium
COLUMBUS, Ohio — June 3, 2026 — AAPlasma LLC participated in the 2026 Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Supply Chain Alliance Symposium & Exhibition, held June 2–3 in Columbus, Ohio, where the company demonstrated its dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) and gliding arc plasma systems to defense and industry leaders.
Hosted by the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) in partnership with the Defense Logistics Agency, this year's symposium centered on the theme Deliver Readiness, Build Capabilities, and Enhance Logistics Deterrence — bringing together small and large businesses, government stakeholders, and supply chain partners focused on strengthening Warfighter support.
Representing AAPlasma at the event were Dr. Greg Fridman, Chief Executive Officer, and Charles Bailey, Chief Operating Officer. The two engaged with attendees on the exhibition floor, walking through live demonstrations of the company's plasma technology and discussing how it can be applied across the defense supply chain.
Demonstrating the Technology
At the heart of the company's exhibit were two complementary non-thermal plasma platforms:
The dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) system generates a stable, low-temperature plasma between electrodes separated by a dielectric layer — an approach well suited to surface treatment, decontamination, and material activation without the heat associated with conventional thermal processes.
The gliding arc plasma system produces a high-energy discharge that travels along diverging electrodes, enabling robust gas- and surface-phase reactions for applications such as decontamination, treatment, and conversion at scale.
Together, the two systems gave attendees a hands-on look at how non-thermal plasma can support readiness and resilience across logistics operations.
"The DLA community is exactly the audience this technology is built for. Non-thermal plasma offers a practical, scalable answer to some of the toughest decontamination and surface-treatment challenges in the supply chain, and the conversations we had this week confirmed there is real appetite for it," said Dr. Greg Fridman.
"It was energizing to see the response on the floor. Putting the systems in front of people and letting them see the technology work is the fastest way to start a partnership, and we left Columbus with a strong set of relationships to build on," added Charles Bailey.
Building Partnerships
The symposium offered AAPlasma the opportunity to connect directly with the people who keep the defense supply chain moving — from established prime contractors to small businesses entering the DLA ecosystem for the first time. The conversations on the floor reinforced the company's commitment to partnering with the defense community to deliver capabilities that support the Warfighter.
