Amprius Technologies has secured a $75 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense to establish domestic production of high-energy density batteries for unmanned aerial systems. The funding is part of the Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment program, which supports important manufacturing capabilities for national defense.
Amprius will retrofit an existing U.S. production line, currently used for electric vehicle batteries, to produce these specialized cells. The project, expected to cost around $100 million, will create a facility capable of producing 12 million Amprius cells annually by early 2028. This expansion aims to meet domestic sourcing requirements under the National Defense Authorization Act and strengthen Amprius' position in the advanced battery market, supporting unmanned aviation, defense, and aerospace applications.
