KULR adds suite of battery safety, testing solutions with new license

KULR Technology (KULR) announced it has achieved operational readiness for its Fractional Thermal Runaway Calorimeter, FTRC, within its suite of battery safety and thermal management solutions after finalizing a commercial licensing agreement with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA, for the agency’s patent-pending FTRC solution. Following a one-year trial license from NASA, KULR’s new commercial license allows FTRC to be utilized by commercial-leaning companies, such as leading aerospace company Lockheed Martin (LMT). "FTRC is a key part of KULR’s holistic methodology for the design of safe battery systems and amplifies the Company’s mission of providing commercially applicable solutions that support the electrification of the circular economy," said Dr. William Walker CTO of KULR Technology Group. "It is humbling to see a technology that I co-invented during my tenure at NASA become a licensed product in private industry and I am excited to support our customers with this new service offering. Fractional calorimetry has certainly changed the way we understand thermal runaway and I cannot wait to see what else is revealed to the industry as we continue our explorative studies internally on thermal runaway behavior."
