Customer’s challenge

Powering military vehicle functionality faces critical challenges in balancing, transporting, and generating energy for advanced, power-hungry systems in harsh environments. Key issues include immense power demands for new sensors and weapons, the high logistical burden of fuel supply, reliance on heavy, low-density batteries, and maintaining, operating, and charging in remote areas. 

  • A solution that would work across thousands of vehicles
  • Need for cold start and an option for NED (nuclear event detect circuit) compliance
  • A solution capable of producing demo units very quickly
