Safire Products & Systems with Safer and High Density Batteries
The modern battlefield is rapidly becoming more electrified—but the energy systems powering it are outdated.
Why it mattersWarfighters must be able to trust their equipment. At Safire, we leave no doubt. We build ruggedized electrified products and systems capable of delivering improved performance and safety in the most extreme environments across the battle space. With partnerships covering applications from hardened wearables to ruggedized electric vehicles, we’re not reinventing the battery. We’re securing an electrified future. Safire’s patented technology revolutionizes the battery without redesigning it. Our shear-thickening additive works at the cell level, instantly changing the electrolyte from conductive liquid to inert solid upon impact and preventing the runaway reactions that lead to explosion or fire. Best of all, the hybrid-state technology can be dropped into any lithium-ion battery without reducing performance, allowing you to maximize efficiency without increasing volatility. Safire Technology Group was founded in 2022. Born out of a five-year R&D effort led by the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Safire holds seven exclusive and comprehensive patents for groundbreaking innovations in energy storage and stability and is guided by a team with decades of experience. Fresh off a recent fundraise of $11 million in 2024, some of Safire’s current products include unmanned vehicles, multifunctional body armor, and ruggedized electric motorcycles.
About
Problem
Warfighters are forced to rely on underperforming batteries and fragmented energy infrastructure. This results in logistics complexity and increased exposure to threats from both the enemy and the elements.
Solution
Stratos Battery Pack: a modular, ruggedized, and safety-enhanced energy solution designed for seamless platform and system integration. Safire platforms include mobile energy storage trailers, renewable microgrid energy storage, electric dirt bikes, and extreme cold weather unmanned robotics. Stratos packs collect real-time battery data—feed it into SafireEOS, our advanced energy operating system. This data layer empowers real-time decision making and AI-driven logistics modeling to prevent failures and enhance operational readiness.
Field Validation
Stratos battery pack and electric dirt bike tested by 3 ASOS in field environment. Mobile and stationary storage prototypes at pre-field levels. Technology Maturity (TRL): TRL 7 for key products through user field testing.
Strategic Advantage
Battery cell and pack safety IP, power electronics IP with exclusive data acess.
