Aegis Critical Energy Defence Corp.'s HyprC Systems Inc. Announces the Launch of Its Next-Generation High-C-Rate Battery Platform

Aegis Critical Energy Defence Corp.'s HyprC Systems Inc. announced the launch of its next-generation high-C-rate battery platform, designed for the world's most demanding power applications in ports, AI data centres and hybrid nuclear energy systems. The launch is supported by a targeted multi-year investment program and a major research collaboration with McMaster University, to be led by Professor Saeid Habibi, a recognised leader in advanced control systems, fault diagnostics and battery energy storage research. The program will also support technology Aegis is developing in partnership with a major European automaker, where high- performance EV batteries will be designed into and used in the project. HyprC's platform is engineered for missions where power is a tactical asset and failure is not an option, providing instant, repeatable power at extreme C-rates for critical infrastructure and high-growth sectors. HyprC's advanced battery chemistry and system design focus on very high charge and discharge rate targeting 2 to 6 C - class and beyond, with minimal heat generation. The platform will target designs capable of supporting tens of thousands of deep cycles and deliver robust performance in harsh therm mechanical and electrical environments typical of heavy industry, defence and high-density compute. These attributes would enable customers to design smaller, lighter, safer and more economical systems than is possible with legacy low-rate batteries, directly addressing the needs of multiple high value markets: Ports & Logistics Modern ports experience ‘violent’ power swings from equipment such as ship-to-shore cranes, AGVs reach stackers and yard equipment. HyprC's systems are designed to: Enable rapid opportunity charging between shifts Maintain stable voltage under heavy lift loads Deliver a lower lifetime cost versus diesel and traditional batteries Support 24/7 operations while helping operators meet decarbonisation and air-quality targets For port operators, this combination offers the potential for reduced operating costs, increased asset utilisation and improved regulatory compliance, positioning HyprC as an enabling technology for the next generation of low-emission, high-throughput terminals. AI Data Centres AI infrastructure and GPU-intensive workloads are pushing conventional UPS systems and low-rate batteries to their limits. HyprC's high-C-rate battery platform is positioned as a disruptive alternative for data centres by: Reducing physical footprint: Higher C-rate and power density mean fewer batteries for the same or greater power Lowering total cost: Less hardware, racking and building volume help reduce capex and opex Cutting insurance costs: Fewer cells and safer thermal behaviour reduce perceived fire risk Improving safety: Lower heat generation and robust thermal design reduce fire load and incident probability Stabilising the grid and protecting IT: Instant response smooths GPU power spikes, providing clean, reliable power Enabling new revenue streams: Supporting peak shaving, frequency regulation, demand response and backup, turning storage into a revenue-generating strategic asset For AI data-centre operators and critical-infrastructure managers, HyprC offers a smaller, cheaper, safer and more profitable way to power next-generation compute and energy systems. Hybrid Nuclear Energy Systems HyprC's platform also supports small and micro modular reactor (SMR/MMR) based hybrid energy architectures. By combining Aegis's battery energy storage systems with cyber-secure energy management controls, the system is designed to enable resilient, next-generation nuclear-battery hybrid configurations. This creates a pathway into emerging nuclear-aligned markets where robust, intelligent energy storage and management are expected to be critical enablers of new SMR/MMR projects. Strategic Research Collaboration with McMaster University Aegis and HyprC are advancing a major research collaboration with McMaster University, to be led by Professor Saeid Habibi. The initiative is structured around applications to Canadian governmental granting agencies, with the planned project duration of four years. The research program focuses on areas of direct strategic importance to Aegis and HyprC's high-C-rate battery and critical-infrastructure platform, including: Development and validation of advanced testing methodologies for high-C-rate battery systems Performance characterisation under demanding, real-world operating conditions Intelligent control approaches for battery energy storage systems deployed in critical infrastructure, including ports, data centres, utility networks, defence-aligned applications and nuclear-aligned applications such as SMR/MMR-based hybrid energy systems This work is intended to: Strengthen the technical foundation underpinning the Company's product roadmap Support technology Aegis is developing in partnership with a major European automaker Enable deployable, mission-critical solutions that meet stringent reliability, safety and security requirements across both non-nuclear and nuclear pathways.
