KULR Technology Group, Inc., a leader in advanced thermal management and vibration reduction solutions, is pleased to announce its active collaboration with the U.S. Army to plan an in-depth evaluation of the KULR VIBE system for vibration reduction and optimal balance on AH-64E Apache and UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters. The evaluation is slated to begin in 2025 and will explore the potential of KULR VIBE to enhance operational efficiency and safety across these critical platforms.
The planned 12-month study will be conducted in partnership with the South Carolina National Guard at McEntire Joint National Guard Base. It aims to assess how KULR VIBE can contribute to stricter vibration standards, streamlining track and balance operations, reducing long-term maintenance costs, and improving aircraft longevity and reliability. Ultimately, the study seeks to bolster Army Aviation’s operational availability while reducing overall expenditures.
“KULR is proud to collaborate with the U.S. Army on this forward-thinking initiative,” said Ted Krupp, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at KULR Technology. “It is an honor to be entrusted to explore innovative ways to improve operational availability and cost-efficiency. We are excited by the potential of KULR VIBE to be a force multiplier for military aviation, enhancing both reliability and safety while reducing maintenance overhead.”

This collaboration underscores the Army’s ongoing commitment to leveraging advanced technologies to optimize performance and safety across its aviation fleet. Upon completion of the study, findings will be published for review, potentially paving the way for widespread adoption of KULR VIBE across Army Aviation platforms.
Commitment to Supporting Our Armed Forces
KULR Technology has a proven track record of delivering innovative solutions that directly support the operational readiness of military assets. For example, the company’s work with the U.S. Marine Corps on the AH-1Z Viper helped avoid the premature retirement of a $39 million asset and reduced over 2,000 hours of troubleshooting time, directly saving the Department of Defense millions of dollars. This partnership with the Army continues KULR’s dedication to enhancing the reliability, safety, and operational efficiency of critical equipment, ultimately contributing to mission success across the armed services.
