Ronin Tech Innovations (RTI) is a San Diego-based defense technology company commercializing the next generation of energy storage: Sodium Solid-State Batteries (S3).
The Problem: Current Lithium-Ion batteries pose severe fire risks (thermal runaway) and require complex cooling systems that waste energy and space. In high-stakes environments like Navy vessels and Data Centers, these limitations are operational liabilities.
The Solution: RTI's proprietary system utilizes a NASICON-based solid electrolyte and a high-voltage phosphate cathode (validated >99.9% Coulombic Efficiency). Our batteries are intrinsically non-flammable, operate efficiently at high temperatures (60°C+), and eliminate the need for liquid cooling.
The "Virtual Factory" Model: RTI operates an asset-light, distributed manufacturing supply chain. We source materials from NEI Corporation (USA), leverage IP from Kyushu University (Japan), and conduct cell fabrication at the University of Michigan. This allows us to scale rapid prototyping without the massive CapEx of a dedicated gigafactory.
Current Status: RTI is currently in the prototype engineering phase (TRL 4), targeting a Series-A Pouch Cell run in Q2 2026 for Defense and Commercial pilot feasibility studies.
