Building Secure Domestic Drone Production Requires Advanced Battery Technology
SES.AI is working to address the challenge of building a secure U.S. drone supply chain by developing advanced battery chemistry and manufacturing capacity. The company’s approach to materials discovery, using AI and computational tools, has enabled it to map the properties of over 100 million molecules. This technology has the potential to accelerate the development of new battery materials, which could improve the performance and range of drones. As reported by Unknown Source, SES.AI’s efforts may help to reduce the U.S. drone industry’s dependence on foreign components and strengthen its competitive position.
