(NYSE American: HYLN) (\u201cHyliion\u201d), a developer of modular power plant technology, today announced that the U.S. Navy\u2019s Office of Naval Research (ONR), in partnership with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), has selected the <i>USX-1 Defiant<\/i> as a candidate test vessel for Hyliion\u2019s KARNO technology.

The modular architecture is designed to demonstrate reliable, low-maintenance power generation for an unmanned vessel, where onboard servicing is not available. Trials are aimed at highlighting KARNO technology\u2019s inherent scalability and redundancy, with power units that can be distributed across the ship to support mission reliability.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe<i> USX-1 Defiant<\/i> was developed under DARPA\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.darpa.mil%2Fnews%2Ffeatures%2Fnomars&amp;esheet=54538146&amp;newsitemid=20260519428584&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=No+Manning+Required+Ship+%28NOMARS%29&amp;index=1&amp;md5=1fa37b3a24ae2a818122682ed851b47a\">No Manning Required Ship (NOMARS)<\/a> program, which<i \/>challenged the traditional naval architecture model by designing a seaframe (the ship without mission systems) from the ground up with no provision, allowance, or expectation for humans on board. The program is part of a broader effort to modernize the U.S. Navy and optimize surface platforms for autonomous operation, enabling simpler hull designs, improved reliability and survivability, and increased flexibility in payload and power system integration. Measuring about 180 feet in length with a displacement of about 240 metric tons, <i>USX-1 Defiant<\/i> is designed for long duration autonomous operation in the open ocean, independently, or alongside other naval assets. The vessel is designed and developed by Serco-North America as a full-scale technology demonstrator and is currently undergoing sea trials.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201c<i>USX-1 Defiant<\/i> represents a fundamental shift in how naval platforms are designed, powered, and operated,\u201d said Thomas Healy, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Hyliion. \u201cAs the Navy moves toward unmanned surface vessels, power systems must be efficient, resilient, and capable of operating without human intervention. Our KARNO technology excels in these parameters, and we view <i>USX-1 Defiant<\/i> as the first of hopefully many naval platforms to be powered by this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nHyliion\u2019s KARNO Core is a heat powered linear generator designed for high modularity, efficiency, and low maintenance operation, making it well suited for unmanned maritime platforms. For the U.S. Navy deployment, the KARNO Cores will operate on F-76 marine diesel and to demonstrate its ability to supply onboard power for extended durations with a low thermal and acoustic footprint. The KARNO Core generates direct current (DC) power output at 800Vdc enabling direct integration into modern ship electrical architectures. The KARNO technology is currently undergoing land-based testing and development using simulated U.S. Navy load profiles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bwalignc\">\nThe views expressed are those of the author and do not reflect the official policy or position of the Department of War or the U.S. Government.<\/p>\n<p><b>About Hyliion<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nHyliion is committed to creating innovative solutions that enable clean, flexible and affordable electricity production.
