Business Wire
Hyliion Holdings Corp. (NYSE: HYLN) (“Hyliion”), a
developer of sustainable electricity-producing technology, is
pleased to announce 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 (kW) 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.”
The SBIR program is an initiative that supports scientific
excellence and technological advancements by investing federal
research funds in key American priorities aimed at strengthening
the national economy and defense infrastructure. The primary
objective of the N241-060 program is to develop and demonstrate a
megawatt (MW) scale, ultra-reliable, and efficient USV modular
generator concept tailored to the Navy’s requirements. This concept
involves configuring smaller kW-scale building block power units in
a high-density package to achieve a 4,000-hour no-touch maintenance
periodicity for continuous operation in a naval environment.
This government contract underscores Hyliion's commitment to
innovation and its leadership in developing sustainable energy
solutions. The KARNO generator, with its exceptional form factor
and ability to operate on multiple fuels, including NATO F-76, is
ideally suited for the Navy’s USV program. The system’s
hermetically sealed architecture, with only one moving part per
shaft, is designed for maintenance-free operation over long running
hours.

About the KARNO Generator
The KARNO generator is a linear heat generator that leverages
advanced 3D metal printed components and proprietary flameless
oxidation technology to produce clean electricity. Modular in
design, the generator is expected to show an improvement in fuel
efficiency, require significantly lower maintenance costs and have
a much lower emissions profile than conventional generators. It is
also capable of operating on over 20 different fuels, including
hydrogen, natural gas, propane, ammonia and conventional fuels.
