“From cables to combat-ready drones — the future is electric, and it’s Made in the USA.”

In this episode of The Watt Hour, we sit down with Ken Thompson, CEO of KTTS and manufacturer’s rep for American Lithium Energy (ALE).

Ken unpacks how KTTS helps build the world’s most advanced autonomous systems — from custom cable assemblies and electronics to battery cell integration for UAVs, drones, directed energy weapons, and next-gen defense platforms.

We dive deep into:

✅ The role of high C-rate lithium-ion battery cells in high-value, mission-critical systems

✅ How KTTS and ALE are supporting UAV providers worldwide

✅ The power of U.S. manufacturing in defense and aerospace supply chains

✅ Real-world insights into integrating battery cells into loitering munitions, satellite systems, eVTOL aircraft, and more

✅ Why energy storage is the backbone of tomorrow’s autonomous military edge

💡 Whether you're an engineer, investor, or defense technologist, this conversation will open your eyes to what it takes to build and power the next generation of unmanned and electrified systems.
