“Dual-Use Sensor Applications from Electric Vehicle (EV) Battery Manufacturing Test to Defense Operational Efficiency”

Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society (AESS) and Robotics and Automation Society (RAS)

Speaker:  Roman Sandoval is the founder and CEO of Allosense, Inc.

This presentation explores the interrelation between the rapid advancements in Electric Vehicle (EV) battery manufacturing processes and their potential dual-use applications in defense operations. As the EV market rapidly grows, the emphasis on efficient manufacturing, in-depth testing, and seamless data interconnectivity across test systems becomes paramount. These advancements are relevant in research engagements with the Air Force and Space Force.

In the EV battery manufacturing industry, strict quality measures coupled with innovative testing approaches, including pulse and thermography scanning, are employed. Critical to this discussion is data aggregation across sensors and test stations, providing a holistic digital representation of assembled EV battery packs. Digital representations improve production throughput, product quality, traceability, and life cycle considerations for manufacturers.

Beyond the automated factory setting, the principles underlying sensor data aggregation support defense applications in generating a Common Operating Picture (COP) across energized assets including aerospace ground equipment. The COP, facilitated by persistent data-ingestion protocols, promises swift information exchange from the edge to network for real-time situational awareness and quick decision-making. These benefits improve operations and offer time savings for managing assets on the flight line or spaceport.
