Introduction: Safety Is Not a Feature — It Is the Foundation In the battery industry, performance numbers often dominate conversations: higher energy density, longer endurance, faster charging. Yet experienced engineers and system integrators know a simple truth: Every performance metric only has value when it stands on an unshakable foundation of safety. At our company,…

Introduction: The Real Profit Killer Isn’t the Drone — It’s the Battery As drone operations scale across industries such as inspection, mapping, security, logistics, and counter-UAS, fleet-based deployment has become the norm. Yet when operators analyze their cost structures, many reach the same surprising conclusion: The drone is not the most expensive asset — the…

At CES 2026, amid a flood of cutting-edge technology announcements, one piece of news stood out as truly explosive: the all-solid-state battery has arrived. The announcement came from a Finnish technology company, Donut Lab, which unveiled what it claims to be “the world’s first mass-producible all-solid-state battery” at this year’s CES. Solid-state batteries have long…

In modern UAV systems—especially industrial drones, heavy-lift platforms, counter-drone systems, and eVTOL aircraft—battery architecture is rapidly evolving toward higher voltage and higher series cell counts. We now routinely see 12S, 14S, 18S, 24S, and even higher-voltage battery systems replacing older low-voltage designs. From the outside, this trend seems simple: More cells in series = higher…

For decades, the flying car has been a symbol of a perpetually distant future—often mentioned alongside visions of sky-bound traffic jams and promised to be just “five years away.” That narrative began to shift in February 2025, when a street-legal vehicle lifted off from a field in California. Now, ten months later, Alef Aeronautics announces that production…

A System-Level Analysis Focused on UAV LiPo Pouch Batteries In UAV power system design, lithium polymer (LiPo) pouch batteries are the dominant energy source. Before discussing battery performance, however, one fundamental question must be answered: Should the battery cells be connected in series or in parallel? Most people understand the basics: Series connections increase voltage…

China’s industrialization process in the all-solid-state battery (ASSB) field is accelerating significantly, with large-scale mass production expected around 2027. A clear three-generation technology roadmap has been established, aiming to achieve a single-cell energy density of 500 Wh/kg by 2035. Three-Generation Technology Roadmap (Primarily Sulfide-Based) Key Corporate Strategies and Technological Directions – Leading companies (such as…

What the Curve Really Tells You About Battery Performance In the battery industry—especially in drones, UAVs, robotics, and eVTOL applications—people often focus on specifications such as capacity (mAh), voltage, and C-rating. However, experienced engineers know one truth: If you really want to understand a battery, you must read its discharge curve. A discharge curve is…

As drones become increasingly accessible and affordable, low-altitude airspace is facing unprecedented challenges. Unauthorized, reckless, or malicious drones now pose real threats to airports, critical infrastructure, public events, border security, and military operations. In response, counter-drone drones—unmanned aerial vehicles designed to intercept and neutralize other drones—have emerged as one of the most flexible and effective…

As drones become widely used in aerial photography, logistics, agriculture, inspection, and many other fields, low-altitude security has emerged as a global concern. Unauthorized or malicious drones can threaten airport operations, major public events, critical infrastructure, and even be used for smuggling, surveillance, or sabotage. Against this backdrop, a new class of equipment has rapidly…
