Applied Energetics Surpasses 1 Billion Watts Peak Power Milestone at Near-Infrared Wavelengths
This achievement marks the latest in a rapidly accelerating series of performance milestones. Since December 2023, Applied Energetics has advanced its systems from hundreds of thousands of watts, to multi-megawatt levels in late 2024, to 25 million watts in April 2025, and 400 million watts in May 2025. Surpassing the gigawatt threshold demonstrates the scalability and maturity of Applied Energetics' proprietary technology and solidifies its leadership in next generation directed energy capabilities.
'Breaking the gigawatt barrier is more than a technical milestone - it's a pivotal moment for our USPL-based directed energy capabilities,' said Chris Donaghey, Chief Executive Officer of Applied Energetics. 'Although a gigawatt is below our ultimate peak power objective, our next milestones are battle-lab demonstrations and outdoor testing of our system in relevant mission conditions. Our team has worked tirelessly over the last six months to achieve this milestone, and I could not be prouder of our team's commitment, ingenuity, and execution.'
'Reaching 1 billion watts of peak power at significant average power output with our ultrashort pulse system opens the door to the next phase of development and a more substantial effects testing program,' said Dr. Stephen McCahon, Chief Scientist and Co-Founder. 'We are firmly in territory where we can deliver rapid effects on targets at significant range, with nonlinear optical phenomena and precision disruption of sensors. In addition, advanced materials interactions can be meaningfully explored for mission-critical applications in representative outdoor environments.'
Applied Energetics' breakthrough was achieved using its proprietary USPL architecture, developed entirely in-house and protected by a growing portfolio of patents. The company continues to expand its R&D efforts and collaborations with existing and prospective defense and national security customers to further develop capabilities based on this revolutionary platform.

Envirotech Delivers Fourth Bumble Bee Electric School Bus in Past 15 Days
HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. (NASDAQ:EVTV) ('Envirotech,' 'EVT', or the 'Company') is pleased to announce the completed delivery of another EVT Bumble Bee electric school bus to Texas independent school districts. The bus was delivered this week to the Kopperl Independent School District ('Kopperl ISD') in Kopperl, Texas. Under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Clean School Bus ('CSB') Program-which was established to provide $5 billion over five years to replace existing fleets with zero-emission buses- $8,570,000 was awarded to cover the production and distribution of 25 electric school buses by Envirotech to school districts in Texas and Arkansas. 'We have now completed four bus deliveries in the past 15 days and expect to see growth in this segment continue to ramp up,' remarked Jason Maddox, President and Interim Chief Financial Officer of Envirotech. 'We express great thanks to the EPA for the Clean School Bus Program and look forward to additional school bus deliveries this year as well as the opportunity to potentially access additional grant funding to further expand this vertical in 2026.' The EVT Bumble Bee fast-charging 100% electric school bus has a proven range of up to 150 miles on a single charge with zero emissions and no noise pollution. It represents a significant improvement over conventional fossil fuel powered buses: Zero tailpipe emissions-students, drivers, and members of the community will be exposed to significantly less harmful diesel emissions like particulate matter and nitrogen oxides. Reduced greenhouse gas emissions compared to diesel school buses. Reduced maintenance costs due to regenerative braking and no engine or exhaust system. Potential for reduced fuel costs compared to diesel depending on electricity costs. Quiet, clean operation. Kopperl ISD Superintendent Katrina Adcock was present when Envirotech delivered the Bumble Bee electric school bus to the district. 'The bus was delivered this morning. It is super cool! Exciting times for Kopperl ISD and Bosque County.' For more information on the CSB Program please visit the EPA program website at: Business owners and potential strategic partners interested in learning about Envirotech's technology offering are invited to visit the Company's website and can contact the Company through the website at About Envirotech Vehicles Envirotech Vehicles, Inc.
