KULR’s U.S. Army aviation battery project hits the final milestone, set to complete by August this year
KULR Technology Group, Inc. is developing batteries for advanced aviation applications for the U.S. Army, and it just announced it has received an additional purchase order, bringing the total contract value to $1.81 million. The project is now in the ‘final phase’ and is scheduled to be completed by August 2024.
In this final phase, KULR will deliver two distinct prototypes of its innovative battery systems, each designed to meet the rigorous operational demands of the Army.
The final prototypes will utilize KULR’s advanced energy management platform, KULR ONE Design Solutions, which they mentioned incorporates state-of-the-art safety measures and thermal management technologies. They also mentioned that the KULR engineering team’s design process has been guided by methodologies including Fractional Thermal Runaway Calorimetry, bomb calorimetry, and impingement zone mapping.
As the sole provider of cell screening technology for NASA, KULR continues to build trust and demonstrate technical expertise throughout its ongoing partnership with the U.S. Army.
KULR CEO Michael Mo stated, “As we progress to the final stages of our collaboration with the U.S. Army, our commitment to excellence and innovation remains unwavering. The trust placed in KULR to develop these advanced prototypes reflects our shared dedication to enhancing the operational capabilities of our armed forces. The forthcoming evaluation of our prototypes will set the stage for future phases, furthering our contribution to the military’s mission readiness with superior energy solutions.”
