Ion Storage Systems (ION) announced the kickoff of a year-long, paid evaluation agreement with Lockheed Martin (LM) which expands upon a four-year relationship that began during ION’s incubation at the University of Maryland. The agreement calls for a comprehensive assessment of ION’s breakthrough solid state battery technology for integration into multiple product applications across LM’s various corporate divisions and is another major step towards commercial adoption of ION’s technology.
“We are proud of our work in bringing a safer, energy dense, and versatile battery to market," said Ricky Hanna, ION CEO. “Our unique patented technology, developed and manufactured in the US will deliver significant advancements over traditional technologies. ION is grateful for LM’s vote of confidence towards our further development and commercialization.”
