Application

Defense & Mission-Critical

Silent, reliable power for those who serve.

From secure communications and surveillance to unmanned systems and space assets, defense and mission-critical platforms rely on batteries that must not fail.

What these batteries need to do

Cells and packs qualified for extreme temperatures, shock, vibration, and pressure.
Traceable, auditable supply chains with controlled access to sensitive design and manufacturing data.
Custom pack designs for soldier-worn systems, unmanned platforms, and specialized vehicles.
Integration with cyber-secure BMS and electronics to guard against tampering and data compromise.

Chemistries and designs that work here

Mission profiles may call for high-power or high-energy chemistries, sometimes with specialized formats or safety features. Qualification cycles are long, reflecting the stakes involved.

Strategic value for the United States

Defense and critical infrastructure programs demand secure domestic or tightly allied supply for all key materials and manufacturing steps. The American Battery highlights projects that meet these requirements.

The American Battery connects this application to specific chemistries, materials, and supply chain needs, so that technology decisions and policy choices can be grounded in a clear view of the entire value chain.
