First, on July 14, Amprius announced a three-yearcomponent purchase agreementwithTeledyne FLIR, a leading player in unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and defense solutions. Using Amprius’ battery cells, Teledyne will be able to extend the power and range of its UAS and cut down charging times. The cells will offer “nearly double the energy density in the same volumetric space with the ability to maintain balanced high energy at high power.” By 2025, the total battery market for UAS is expected to expand to $38 billion. Amprius believes it is well-positioned to take advantage of this market.

Last month, Amprius also signed apurchase agreementwithCentrotherm. The company will purchase photovoltaic cell production equipment from Centrotherm to help manufacture its silicon nanowire anode. Furthermore, the purchase consists of “proven equipment” that has been used to make commodity solar cells.$Amprius Technologies Operating Inc(AMPX)$
