Leveraging the ATLAS platform, Eonix will speed up battery supplies discovery centered on powering Directed Vitality, C-sUAS, and e-VTOL techniques
Knoxville, TN — Eonix, a pioneer in next-generation battery know-how, has been chosen by AFWERX for a PHASE II STTR contract with the College of Tennessee Tickle School of Engineering within the quantity of $1.7M centered on ultra-high-power batteries for directed vitality, counter drone swarms, and e-VTOL techniques. The funds shall be used to design excessive conductivity electrolytes which can be drop-in suitable with batteries manufactured in the present day and meet the bold DoD vitality 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,” mentioned 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 Pressure, pairs real-time measurement of fabric habits 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 major leap ahead within the quest for next-gen vitality storage options.
The Air Pressure 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 sooner proposal to award timelines, altering the pool of potential candidates by increasing alternatives to small enterprise and eliminating bureaucratic overhead by frequently implementing course of enchancment adjustments in contract execution. The DAF started providing the Open Matter 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 progressive capabilities that may strengthen the nationwide protection of the USA of America.
