KULR Awarded U.S. Navy Contract to Develop High-Temperature Internal Short Circuit Cells for Enhanced Battery Safety in Critical Applications
26 November 2024 - 12:30AM
KULR Technology Group, Inc. (NYSE American: KULR)
(the "Company" or "KULR"), a provider of advanced thermal
management solutions, has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Navy
to advance its Internal Short Circuit (ISC) technology to activate
at higher temperatures. This development, vital for both military
and commercial applications, will support a wide range of
safety-critical uses, with particular importance for aviation by
enabling the simulation of extreme conditions that better reflect
the stringent safety standards of the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) and European Union Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA).
KULR’s ISC devices, originally developed in collaboration with
NASA and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), induce
controlled thermal runaway in lithium-ion cells, offering safer and
more accurate testing than conventional methods. With the
capability to activate at elevated temperatures, the new ISC
devices provide deeper insights into battery behavior under
worst-case scenarios, allowing for a precise evaluation of
resilience and safety for high-stress environments.
Advantages of High-Temperature ISC
Activation
High-temperature ISC activation supports critical advancements
in aviation safety by:
- Accurately Simulating
Extreme Conditions: Higher temperature activation mirrors
real-world operational stresses, offering precise data on thermal
runaway behavior essential for electric and hybrid-electric
aircraft.
- Achieving Greater
Consistency with Safety Standards: The advanced ISC
testing helps align battery safety development with the rigorous
safety expectations of FAA and EASA as electric aviation progresses
toward certification.
- Enhancing Military and
Commercial Safety: The technology provides both the U.S.
Navy and commercial aviation sectors with tools to rigorously
evaluate battery resilience, bolstering mission safety and
reliability.
“Our work with the U.S. Navy on high-temperature ISC technology
will enhance safety protocols and provide essential data as
electric aviation moves closer to regulatory certification and
market entry,” said Michael Mo, CEO of KULR Technology. “With these
advancements, KULR is well-positioned to support safer, more
resilient battery systems across the aviation industry.”
This contract further strengthens KULR's role as a critical
partner in battery safety advancements. Combined with our growing
capability to evaluate large-format cells and battery packs during
thermal runaway, KULR is uniquely positioned to support the
aviation sector in meeting safety standards and advancing safely to
market. For more information on KULR’s ISC technology and its
