Episode notes

One commercial order can establish credibility. Three parallel final stage evaluations can show whether that credibility is beginning to spread. Just over a week after Novacium received its first commercial order for silicon based battery packs destined for drones for a French Army regiment, HPQ and Novacium are now advancing battery evaluations with three separate European drone manufacturers. Each manufacturer has received 10 custom configured battery packs for final stage evaluation, moving the story from a single defence order to three separate late stage evaluation programs. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW • Three Final Stage Evaluations: Three European drone manufacturers have each received 10 custom configured battery packs. CEO Bernard Tourillon said final stage evaluation can include static ground testing followed by operational testing, depending on the customer and application. • Timeline Measured in Weeks: Asked whether HPQ expected these evaluations to take weeks or months, Tourillon answered “weeks,” while making clear that the final timing remains in the customers’ hands.
