“Winning the competition not only signifies Amprius’ continued
collaboration with the Department of Defense through our tenth
program together, but it also positions us to revolutionize
military applications with our groundbreaking 500 Wh/kg SiMaxx
cell,” said Dr. Kang Sun, CEO of Amprius. “The interest we have
secured from multiple national defense customers underscores the
market need for our next-generation battery solutions. We’re
honored to be chosen for the U.S. Army xTechPrime contract and look
forward to providing the innovative battery technology needed to
greatly improve mission time and range for critical military
applications.”
The xTechPrime Competition, held from April through June,
challenged small businesses to work together in teams with
technology integrators to submit innovative solutions that can
contribute to the U.S. Army’s modernization goals. Amprius
partnered with AeroVironment (AV) as the technology integrator for
AV’s high altitude pseudo satellite (HAPS) that competed in the
Autonomy Technology Ecosystem category. AV has developed
solar-powered stratospheric platforms for decades, most recently
being a new version of HAPS for a government customer.
“Amprius’ 500 Wh/kg SiMaxx cell provides the energy density
required to enable broad application objectives on our solar HAPS
performance roadmap,” said Dex Halpin, Vice President and General
Manager of AV’s HAPS division. “Our partnership with Amprius allows
AV to field our solar stratospheric platforms with the highest
payload capability in its class: 150 lb mass and 1500W continuous
power. The SiMaxx cell’s proven performance gives us confidence
that our partnership with Amprius will help expand our solar
platforms’ performance and payload capabilities for government and
commercial customers.”
Amprius’ industry-leading 500 Wh/kg, 1300 Wh/L SiMaxx cell has
been verified by Mobile Power Solutions and provides approximately
double the energy compared to conventional cells. The continued
partnership with the Department of Defense accelerates the
development of critical capabilities and strengthens the U.S.
supply chain.
