September 19, 2025
KULR Technology Group 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 is vital for both military and commercial applications, particularly for aviation safety. KULR’s ISC devices, originally developed with NASA and NREL, induce controlled thermal runaway in lithium-ion cells, offering safer and more accurate testing methods. The capability to activate at elevated temperatures provides deeper insights into battery behavior under worst-case scenarios, allowing for precise evaluation of resilience and safety. This advancement supports critical progress in aviation safety by enabling the simulation of extreme conditions that better reflect stringent safety standards from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The contract strengthens KULR's role as a critical partner in battery safety advancements for the aviation industry.
