Expeditionary Power
Power for Tactical Edge Operations
Challenge
Fuel resupply operations impose a heavy economic, logistics and force protection burden. Tactical operations require enhanced power generation, distribution, management and storage to mitigate these burdens.
Solution
Evaluated and validated commercially-derived hybrid power solutions. Developed and delivered innovative commercially-derived solutions such as thin, flexible, high efficiency solar technology and various light, mobile, soldier-worn power modules. Benefits at one installation site include 60% reduction in fuel consumption, resulting in four fewer helicopter resupply missions per week.
