About this award
The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory awarded an SBIR Phase I contract valued at approximately $140K to Tyfast Energy Corp, a minority-owned small disadvantaged business, for the development of domestically sourced and globally superior lithium vanadium oxide (LVO) battery technology for directed energy weapons applications. The contract, set aside for total small business, was awarded on August 12, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of May 18, 2026, and will be performed in San Diego, California. This Phase I effort focuses on establishing the technical feasibility of advanced LVO battery technology to support military directed energy weapons systems, building upon Tyfast Energy Corp's established expertise in high-performance lithium-ion battery development.
Tyfast Energy Corp brings substantial experience in advanced battery research and development to this engagement, with a demonstrated track record of federal funding and successful execution of battery technology initiatives. The company has previously received SBIR support from the Department of the Army, NSF cooperative agreements totaling over $1.1M for battery development, and an ARPA-E cooperative agreement of $2.8M for high-power battery technology. Through this Air Force SBIR Phase I contract, Tyfast Energy Corp will leverage its core competencies in novel anode materials and high-performance lithium-ion cell designs to advance LVO battery technology capabilities for military applications, with potential for Phase II development and commercialization pending successful completion of Phase I objectives.
