Hyliion Holdings awarded SBIR government contract by United States Navy

Hyliion Holdings announced that it has been awarded a Small Business Innovation Research SBIR government contract by the United States Navy. Phase 1 of the award, N241-060, will allow Hyliion to create a preliminary design of a modular generator system that integrates the Navy’s specifications with Hyliion’s cutting-edge KARNO generator technology. With this contract, Hyliion will showcase a design concept of the KARNO generator in a megawatt-scale modular system. The system will be engineered to offer a versatile and flexible approach to meet the U.S. government’s Unmanned Surface Vessel USV cross-platform requirements, scalable to various power needs and adaptable to the available platform space. Hyliion plans to leverage its foundational 200-kilowatt KARNO genset, combining multiple units together to achieve the desired power output. “We are honored to receive this SBIR contract from the United States Navy,” said Thomas Healy, Founder and CEO of Hyliion. “This award is a testament to the KARNO generator’s expected ability to offer efficient, flexible, and low-maintenance power generation. We are excited to contribute to the Navy’s mission and explore higher power solutions for their USV initiative.”
