The aerospace and defense sectors require power solutions that deliver unmatched reliability, safety, and performance in the most extreme conditions. Batteries play a vital role in supporting complex systems across both military and commercial applications, from avionics and satellite communications to mission-critical backup power.
Battery technology enables a wide range of essential functions across aerospace and defense, including:
For the U.S. military, downtime is never an option—even in peacetime. Batteries supplied by BCI members ensure that soldiers in every branch of service, across all corners of the world, can continue to protect American interests.
In defense and aerospace, reliability is non-negotiable. Batteries are a cornerstone of mission success, ensuring continuous operation in the air, on land, and at sea. Whether powering fighter jets, radar systems, or submarine propulsion, energy storage solutions are essential for national security and technological advancements.
With $7.5 billion in annual U.S. government and defense spending, investments in advanced energy storage solutions play a crucial role in driving innovation, enhancing operational capabilities, and strengthening defense readiness.
Aerospace and defense systems operate in some of the most demanding environments on Earth and beyond. Batteries provide critical power for aircraft engines, navigation systems, radar, and satellite communications—ensuring uninterrupted performance in high-stakes situations.
Advanced battery technologies are engineered to withstand extreme temperatures, shock, and vibration, delivering consistent and efficient energy storage for missions where failure is not an option.
As the aerospace and defense industries evolve, so do the energy solutions that power them. Ongoing advancements in battery technology are enhancing efficiency, longevity, and resilience to meet the growing demands of military and commercial applications.
Through continued research, industry partnerships, and investment in domestic manufacturing, next-generation battery systems are paving the way for improved system performance, secure supply chain, and a stronger national defense.
