Leveraging the ATLAS platform, Eonix will speed up battery supplies discovery targeted on powering Directed Power, C-sUAS, and e-VTOL methods
Knoxville, TN — Eonix, a pioneer in next-generation battery expertise, has been chosen by AFWERX for a PHASE II STTR contract with the College of Tennessee Tickle Faculty of Engineering within the quantity of $1.7M targeted on ultra-high-power batteries for directed power, counter drone swarms, and e-VTOL methods. The funds can be used to design excessive conductivity electrolytes which might be drop-in appropriate with batteries manufactured immediately and meet the formidable DoD power storage targets for subsequent gen platforms.
“New technologies like Directed Energy, Counter Small Unmanned Aircraft (C-sUAS), and electric Vertical Take Off Landing (e-VTOL) Systems promise to transform modern air defense systems by offering cost-effective engagement, enhanced base resiliency, and advanced surveillance and attack capabilities,” stated Eonix Founder Don Derosa. “Our ATLAS materials discovery platform will design a next generation battery chemistry that improves power density, discharge rate, and operational temperature…thus powering the Air Force to respond to a rapid evolution of aerial threats.”
Eonix is revolutionizing battery product growth, leveraging their ATLAS platform which is 40x sooner and 15x decrease price than conventional R&D strategies. This groundbreaking platform, beforehand harnessed for tasks backed by Military/DOE/NSF/Air Drive, pairs real-time measurement of fabric conduct in batteries with quantum mechanics simulations to coach AI fashions, considerably accelerating supplies discovery. These fashions predict materials efficiency and recommend novel materials candidates, marking a big leap ahead within the quest for next-gen power storage options.
The Air Drive Analysis Laboratory and AFWERX have partnered to streamline the Small Enterprise Innovation Analysis (SBIR) and Small Enterprise Know-how Switch (STTR) course of by accelerating the small enterprise expertise by way of sooner proposal to award timelines, altering the pool of potential candidates by increasing alternatives to small enterprise and eliminating bureaucratic overhead by regularly implementing course of enchancment modifications in contract execution. The DAF started providing the Open Subject SBIR/STTR program in 2018 which expanded the vary of improvements the DAF funded and now on Eonix will begin its journey to create and supply revolutionary capabilities that may strengthen the nationwide protection of america of America.
