Powering the next era of drone technology
We believe the missions that defend the world are won by a better battery. Our vision is high-density power for the vehicles that defend the United States and its allies, so the battery is never what holds a mission back.
/ Production base
Bringing high-density battery production closer to US programs
We’re working to bring production closer to US programs, for customers that need shorter supply chains and greater sourcing control.
Engineering
Proven high-density battery designs developed around the platform and mission.
Sourcing
Components selected for performance and availability, as we work according to US procurement requirements.
Closer to your program
Our goal: battery packs built closer to American customer programs.
Scale
Move proven battery designs from initial builds into reliable and repeatable volume production.
/ EU headquarters
European roots, global ambitions
Since 2020, we’ve grown into a team of 150+, with our headquarters and R&D in Den Bosch, the Netherlands. From there and from Austin, our engineering, commercial and program teams work directly with US customers and programs.
Direct access to expertise
Work closely with the specialists behind our battery technology.
Short communication lines
Direct collaboration keeps projects moving and decisions fast.
An allied base
Our engineering and production base sits in the Netherlands, a NATO ally.
/ sourcing & traceability
A secure, resilient supply chain
We build long-term relationships with our suppliers, qualify every cell we use and keep full traceability, and we’re working to bring production closer to US programs.
- ISO 9001 certified quality management
- Working toward NDAA-aligned supply
- UN 38.3 tested for safe transport
Supplier network
Preferred agreements with top-tier cell manufacturers give us first access to new cell technology, and multiple suppliers keep your supply steady if one slows down.
Component checks
Every cell is measured and matched before assembly, so they all perform alike. That keeps the pack balanced, extends its life and makes its performance predictable.
Certified storage
Cells and packs are stored in certified facilities across multiple locations to spread risk, and we’re expanding our own storage capacity.
/ proven results
Battle-tested batteries
Our packs are built to perform in demanding conditions, from high-discharge flights to cold weather. We test every one before it ships, then prove it in operational use: an estimated 5 million+ flight hours across 70+ platforms, with a field failure rate under 1%.

/ from design to deployment
Tulip’s R&D methods
We design every pack around your application: we select the ideal cell from an extensive range of cells, or build a custom battery tailored to your needs.
design
01Engineer around the platform
We model performance on your platform before anything is built. Designing for manufacturing from the start means production takes shape while you test.
Prototype
02Validate the design early
Your pack should run reliably, every time. That’s why we build a prototype and send it to you, after fast iterations toward the best performance for its weight.
Test
03Prove performance before deployment
We test your prototype in-house, then you test it on your platform, so performance is proven before deployment.
Scale
04Scale with confidence
Once your pack is proven, it’s tested to UN 38.3 and produced at volume, in a factory that delivers around 100,000 packs a month across all our customers.
