Revolutionizing Soldier Power: The Next-Gen Wearable Battery Pack
amprius Technologies is set to provide its cutting-edge simaxx™ safe cells to finalize the progress and validation of the U.S. Army’s advanced Wearable battery Pack.
Meeting the Demands of Modern Warfare
In recent times, the U.S. Army has expressed a pressing need for innovative wearable battery solutions—compact and lightweight power sources that soldiers can easily carry and utilize. This initiative aims to enhance the operational capabilities of dismounted troops.
Enhanced Energy density for Extended Missions
The Army is on a mission to transform power solutions for its personnel by introducing a next-generation battery pack that boasts a substantially improved energy density compared to existing options.The integration of SiMaxx™ safe cells is expected to nearly double the energy density, thereby prolonging the operational time for soldiers in the field.
A Milestone in Battery Technology
This advancement in battery technology signifies a major leap forward in wearable power solutions, highlighting the critical role of innovation in modernizing support for soldiers deployed in various environments.
development and Testing Under Military Standards
The SiMaxx™ safe cells were developed through the U.S. Army-funded Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) program, which focuses on enhancing industrial capabilities to meet essential Army-wide manufacturing needs. In July 2023, these cells successfully met the stringent safety and performance criteria outlined in MIL-PRE-32383 (Military Performance Specification). Following this, in January 2024, Amprius completed its scale-up manufacturing initiative under ManTech, which included the successful delivery of SiMaxx™ safe cells.
Expert Insights on the Integration
“The integration of this battery pack represents a pivotal step in improving power solutions for the U.S. Army,” stated Dr. kang Sun, CEO of Amprius Technologies. “Our SiMaxx™ safe cells, recognized for their exceptional energy density and safety features, are set to significantly enhance mission duration and reliability for soldiers on the ground.”
