The cost-plus-fixed-fee contract, valued at $41.7 million, will support the development of megawatt-scale versions of Hyliion’s modular KARNO™ power generation technology for locations designated by the Office of Naval Research. Unlike conventional diesel generators that rely on reciprocating piston engines, the KARNO Power Module is based on a linear generator architecture that converts heat into electricity with fewer moving parts. Expeditionary bases, radar installations, communications facilities, ports, and logistics hubs all require dependable power generation, often in remote environments where access to conventional infrastructure is limited. At the same time, modular systems can simplify transportation, maintenance, and future upgrades compared with large, permanently installed power plants. It has also identified marine applications and mobile power generation as future growth areas.
