Johnstown, PA, April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC) is proud to announce its recent contract award from the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Energy Office under the Operational Energy and Installation Resilience Program. The competitively bid contract, valued at $18 million with options up to $25 million, will span a five-year period of performance.
Under this contract, CTC will design, implement, and demonstrate a large-capacity energy storage system tailored to meet mission needs. Once the system is successfully tested, it will enable the transition of this large-capacity energy storage to the Department of the Air Force (DAF) for operational use. CTC will provide detailed documentation and any policy recommendation to enable the demonstrated technology for adoption throughout the DAF.
“This award is a testament to CTC’s expertise and exceptional past performance in electrical infrastructure and power resiliency demonstrations across multiple DAF locations,” said Edward J. Sheehan, Jr., CTC President and CEO. “We are honored to continue our long-standing partnership with AFRL, which spans over 20 years, and to contribute to the advancement of energy storage solutions that enhance mission readiness and resiliency.”
A CTC team of 12-15 employees, primarily based in Johnstown, PA, will leverage their expertise in electrical engineering, controls engineering, CAD design, project management, and procurement to execute this project. The work will also involve collaboration with multiple subcontractors to ensure successful delivery.
“This project is an exciting opportunity to demonstrate how advanced energy storage systems can provide reliable power in even the most challenging environments,” said Kevin Merichko, CTC Project Manager. “Our team is committed to delivering a solution that not only meets the Air Force’s immediate needs but also serves as a model for future energy resiliency efforts across the Department of the Air Force.”
The significance of this award lies in its potential to reduce power generation assets required to supply missions with resilient power in both extreme and common environments. By integrating energy storage in climatically challenged settings, CTC is laying the foundation for future advancements in power resiliency for the warfighter.
Concurrent Technologies Corporation remains committed to delivering innovative solutions that support warfighter needs and their mission to protect national security.
