British Army Showcases Solus Power’s New ‘Kratos’ Battery

Solus Power, a British battery innovation company, has received endorsement from the UK Defence and Security Exports (UKDSE) to showcase its groundbreaking portable battery technology, the ‘Kratos,’ at the prestigious Larkhill Exhibition Centre in Wiltshire. The ‘Kratos’ battery, described as a “Jerry can of electricity,” is designed to provide off-grid, rapid-charging power for various military applications and is aimed at reducing the need for fossil fuels.

The ruggedised lithium-ion battery offers a portable and stackable energy solution, particularly suited to powering the military’s rapidly growing array of electronic devices, from drones to communications equipment. This technology is a significant advancement in the military’s move toward more sustainable and reliable energy sources, offering a modular approach that can be easily transported and used in diverse, challenging environments.

The UKDSE, a division of the Department for Business and Trade, recognised the Kratos battery for its potential to enhance operational support in the modern defence landscape. With its approval, the UKDSE will provide promotional and logistical support for Solus Power to position Kratos as a pioneering solution in global defence. The battery system will also be presented to international government and military delegates visiting the Larkhill centre, as well as under the Ministry of Defence’s banner at upcoming defence and security exhibitions.

Stas Leonidou, Founder and CEO of Solus Power, expressed pride in the product’s approval and in contributing to the British Army’s modernisation goals. “As we navigate an increasingly complex global security landscape, it is critical that we continue to develop cutting-edge solutions supporting defence and security operations. We are proud to be at the forefront of this mission with Kratos,” he said. Leonidou highlighted that the demand for portable, reliable power has grown exponentially as military forces seek to reduce logistical burdens while increasing sustainability. The endorsement, he noted, reinforces Solus Power’s role in shaping future defence strategies.

The Kratos battery offers tactical benefits by providing a reliable, portable power source that enables soldiers to carry and deploy energy where traditional fuel supplies may be limited. The power solution not only supports ongoing electrification initiatives but also aligns with sustainability targets, including the British Army’s goal of reaching NetZero by 2050.

UKDSE’s Construction, Logistics, and Infrastructure Adviser, Michael Molloy, expressed enthusiasm about Kratos’s inclusion in their defence technology portfolio. “Delegates from around the world come to Larkhill seeking innovative solutions to increase operational advantage, and with the clear aspiration to electrify the battlefield over the next decade, we are delighted to showcase Solus Power’s Kratos battery as part of our portfolio,” Molloy said.

The endorsement by the UKDSE follows a Memorandum of Understanding between Solus Power and global defence company QinetiQ, aimed at exploring further applications for Kratos in supporting electrified military equipment. The adoption of electrification, particularly in the British and US armies, is part of a larger strategy to improve operational resilience, enhance sustainability, and support NetZero goals.

As more advanced military systems emerge, including digital weaponry and active protection systems, the need for adaptable and scalable power sources grows. With its capability to deliver flexible, on-demand energy, Kratos offers a solution that not only meets current operational demands but also supports the long-term goal of reducing fossil fuel dependency and ensuring safer, more efficient energy supply lines in the field.
