KULR Technology Group Announces Next-Generation Battery System for Directed Energy Weapons, Shares Rise 4.6%

KULR Technology Group Inc. (NYSE American: KULR) saw its stock climb 4.6% on Monday following the announcement that it is developing a next-generation 400V battery system for a Counter-UAS Directed Energy System. This strategic development highlights the company’s expansion into the rapidly growing defense technology sector.

Demonstrating significant operational efficiency, KULR delivered a complete design package and a functional prototype just five weeks after receiving the initial purchase order. The company has leveraged its extensive experience in mission-critical battery design to engineer a system capable of meeting the demanding power requirements of advanced energy weapon platforms. The system is scheduled to enter full production in 2026.

The development process incorporated several of KULR’s proprietary technologies and methodologies, including:

• Model-based electrical and thermal simulations to optimize performance.
• A proprietary cell selection process to ensure reliability and power output.
• A design-for-safety architecture to maintain operational integrity in extreme conditions.

Peter Hughes, VP of Engineering at KULR Technology Group, stated, “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.”

This initiative positions KULR to capitalize on substantial market growth. The directed energy weapons market is projected to expand from approximately $7.9 billion to $39.9 billion over the next decade, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.6%. This expansion is fueled by increasing global defense budgets and the growing need for sophisticated countermeasures against threats like missiles and drones.

KULR’s engineering approach emphasizes modular design principles, advanced modeling, and rapid prototyping workflows, which enable simultaneous progress across multiple domains. The company will manufacture these advanced battery systems at its facility in Webster, Texas.
