The Battery Arms Race — Can U.S. Capacity Meet Military Demand?: BI Replay

The future of warfare may run on batteries. Drones, autonomous systems, advanced sensors and other next-generation military technologies all depend on one increasingly strategic resource: reliable battery power. As the U.S. military deploys more power-intensive technologies, secure and resilient battery supply chains are becoming increasingly important to military readiness and the broader defense industrial base. Join Bloomberg Intelligence’s Wayne Sanders for a conversation with Cirba Solutions President and CEO David Klanecky on the growing role of batteries in modern warfare, vulnerabilities across today’s supply chain and what it could take to build a stronger domestic battery ecosystem. How critical are batteries becoming to the modern battlefield? Where are the biggest supply-chain vulnerabilities? And how could new technologies reshape the power requirements of future weapons systems? Modern warfare is becoming more electrified. Is the U.S. battery supply chain ready? Join us to find out.
