KULR Technology Group announced that it has completed a rapid‑development program for a 400‑volt battery system designed to power a Counter‑UAS Directed‑Energy System. The company delivered a full design package and a working prototype to the customer within five weeks of receiving the purchase order, a record turnaround for a mission‑critical defense platform.
The new battery system is built on KULR’s KULR ONE Guardian (K1G) architecture and incorporates proprietary carbon‑fiber thermal‑management and safety technologies. By integrating advanced electrical, mechanical, and firmware design into a single, modular platform, KULR claims the system meets the power and reliability requirements of high‑energy laser and microwave weapons while maintaining MIL‑STD‑810H compliance.
The directed‑energy defense market is projected to grow from $7.9 billion to $39.9 billion over the next decade, a CAGR of 17.6%. KULR’s rapid prototype delivery positions the company to capture a share of the expanding counter‑UAS and high‑energy weapon segments, where demand for lightweight, high‑power batteries is accelerating.
Peter Hughes, VP of Engineering, said, “KULR is expanding its KULR ONE Guardian (K1G) platform with enhanced solutions engineered specifically for defense applications requiring the rigorous performance standards of MIL‑STD‑810H. Leveraging our in‑house manufacturing capabilities at our Webster, Texas facility, we accelerated development and brought this program to life with exceptional speed and precision.”
KULR’s Q3 2025 financials show a 116% year‑over‑year revenue increase to $6.88 million, driven by strong demand for its battery products. Gross margin fell sharply to 9% from 71% in the prior year, largely due to service‑hour costs and mining‑lease expenses, but the company remains on a revenue‑growth trajectory that supports future production of the new battery system.
The company plans to enter production in 2026, beginning with low‑rate initial production and scaling to full‑rate manufacturing. The rapid prototype delivery demonstrates KULR’s ability to accelerate product development and scale production, strengthening relationships with defense customers and positioning the company for long‑term growth in the counter‑UAS and directed‑energy markets.
