Hyliion Awarded U.S. Navy Contract to Advance Multi-Unit KARNO Power Module
The newly awarded Phase II contract builds on the successful completion of Phase I, during which Hyliion completed the initial concept design and architectural planning for a multi-megawatt naval-compliant power generator system. Phase II will focus on key enabling technologies for the multi-KARNO Core architecture, including the development of integrated software and power electronics, motion control improvements, and communications systems essential for scaled system operation. Hyliion expects Phase II to commence immediately and continue for a period of 18 months.
'Advancing the scalability and operational control of the KARNO Modules is critical to meeting the Navy's future energy needs,' said Thomas Healy, Founder and CEO of Hyliion. 'This award allows us to lay the groundwork for a highly resilient and efficient power solution that can adapt to mission requirements across both stationary and mobile defense operations.'
During Phase II, Hyliion will focus on the software required to manage and synchronize multiple KARNO Cores, ensuring they can deliver stable, dynamic power in high-demand environments. Additional work includes refining the integrated drive electronics to meet size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) targets, and aligning control schemes with naval operating standards. These innovations are designed to accelerate Hyliion's timeline to deploy a full multi-megawatt shipboard generator system.
Hyliion's KARNO Power Module is a linear generator powered by heat rather than combustion. Its external heat generation architecture, enabled by additive manufacturing, is designed to support operation on more than 20 fuel types and produce electricity with high efficiency, low maintenance requirements, and minimal acoustic and thermal signatures—making it well-suited for naval applications.
Phase II development efforts will also align with Hyliion's commercial 2 MW product roadmap, allowing for shared learnings between defense and civilian applications.

Kioxia Commences Sample Shipments of 9th Generation BiCS FLASHTM 512Gb TLC Devices
Combine Existing Memory Cell and Advanced CMOS Technologies to Maximize Investment Efficiency TOKYO, July 25, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kioxia Corporation, a world leader in memory solutions, today announced it has commenced sample shipments¹ of 512Gb Triple-Level Cell (TLC) memory devices incorporating its 9th generation BiCS FLASHTM 3D flash memory technology. It plans to commence mass production in fiscal year 2025. The devices are designed to support applications requiring high performance and exceptional power efficiency in the low- to mid-level storage capacities. They will also be integrated into Kioxia's enterprise SSDs, in particular those that aim to maximize GPU efficiency in AI systems. Kioxia continues to pursue a dual-axis strategy to address the diverse needs of cutting-edge applications while delivering competitive products providing optimal investment efficiency. The two axes are: 9th generation BiCS FLASH™ products: these achieve high performance at reduced production cost by leveraging CBA (CMOS directly Bonded to Array) technology,² which integrates existing memory cell technologies³ with the latest CMOS technology. 10th generation BiCS FLASH™ products: these incorporate an expansion in the number of memory layers to meet the expected future demand for larger-capacity, high-performance solutions. The new 9th generation BiCS FLASHTM 512Gb TLC, developed using a 120-layer stacking process based on 5th generation BiCS FLASH™ technology and advanced CMOS technology, exhibit significant performance improvements over Kioxia's existing BiCS FLASHTM products⁴ with the same 512Gb capacity.
