The firm is run by Dave Harden, an Air Force Reserve colonel and the former chief of strategic prioritization at the Pentagon. After his stint there, he was the COO and chief architect for AFWERX, the Air Force’s technology accelerator for innovators, academia, businesses and airmen to solve national security problems.
"The Outpost thesis around the benefits of dual use technology make working with KULR on bringing its world-class battery safety and thermal management technologies to a multitude of projects smart for our nation — ranging from creating safer batteries to providing high performance electronics and cooling solutions for aerospace and defense programs,” Harden said.
Dual use technology refers to products normally used for civilian purposes but that could also have military applications.
KULR, based in Campbell, California, enables leading aerospace, electronics, and electric vehicle manufacturers to make their products cooler, lighter and safer for the consumer.
