HPQ Silicon signed a Letter of Intent on June 16, 2026 with LN Innov’ and HPQ technology partner Novacium SAS at Eurosatory 2026, described in the interview as the world’s largest defence and security exhibition. The LOI will evaluate a Canadian-based electric propulsion platform combining Novacium battery technologies, to be marketed under the HPQ ENDURA+ brand, with LN Innov’s electric propulsion systems for North American drone, robotics and defence markets. This is still an evaluation framework, but it is supported by real industrial signals. LN Innov’ has had more than 20 customers test its electric propulsion systems, with more than a dozen subsequently placing commercial orders. The company is also working toward manufacturing capacity of up to 20,000 drone motors per month in France by the end of Q3 2026. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Commercial Signals: More than 20 customers have tested LN Innov’ electric propulsion systems, and more than a dozen have placed commercial orders. Manufacturing Scale: LN Innov’ is working toward capacity of up to 20,000 drone motors per month in France by the end of Q3 2026. Battery Integration: Novacium battery technologies are being evaluated by industrial and defence sector participants for potential integration into future drone and autonomous system platforms. Evaluation Window: The LOI provides a 190 day framework to assess industrialization, manufacturing, supply chain requirements, certification pathways, target applications, business structure and potential commercialization strategies.
