SAN DIEGO, May 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- KULR Technology Group, Inc. (NYSE American: KULR) (the "Company" or "KULR"), a leading energy management platform company accelerating the global transition to a sustainable electrification economy, today announced the United States Army awarded a $1.13M contract to KULR for developing a safe, high-energy battery storage platform using next generation silicon anode lithium-ion cells. KULR will utilize KULR ONE Design Solutions platform to fast track this new design through prototyping phases and into manufacturing readiness for U.S. Army’s advanced aviation applications. Development activities had begun at the end of April 2023 and are slated to run through early 2024.
KULR ONE Design Solutions (K1DS) platform incorporates the most comprehensive design and testing methodology for battery safety that includes: Fractional Thermal Runaway Calorimetry (“FTRC”), bomb calorimetry, and impingement zone mapping, performing a comprehensive cell level characterization of the thermal runaway behavior of the customer’s cells. Testing data gathered during this process will guide the design decisions by the KULR engineering team.
The Phase One contract is an important milestone for the Company. We are focused on commercializing the safety architecture boasted by the KULR ONE platform, which utilizes the latest high-power battery cells from E-One Moli Energy. Furthermore, the cells used for the U.S. Army production batteries will be screened by KULR's newly completed cell screening automation line. Last week, it was announced that the Company shall be the sole provider for an automated cell screening project from NASA.
"We are proud to support military operational readiness with advanced next-generation energy storage platforms," said KULR CEO Michael Mo. “Our breakthrough KULR ONE Design Solutions has enabled leading aerospace, electronics, and energy storage manufactures to develop lighter, safer, and more thermally efficient products. Now, by developing next generation high-energy silicon anode battery packs into smaller and lighter power sources for deployed applications, we can implement measures that enhance the capabilities and resilience of soldiers in the field. We are very excited to help solve the difficult problems facing operational preparedness for the U.S. Armed Forces and its allies.”
