Galvion, a global leader in the design and manufacture of innovative head systems, power and data management solutions, and integrated soldier systems, is expanding its BATLCHRG™ wireless charging capability with the introduction of BATLCHRG™ UX at DSEI 2025. This next-generation solution redefines how power can be delivered to unmanned systems operating in remote and high threat environments across land, air and maritime environments. Galvion will be exhibiting BATLCHRG UX, along with their wider systems and solutions, at DSEI 2025 in booth N2-420.
BATLCHRG UX is a portable wireless charging system that provides autonomous recharging for unmanned robotic platforms through magnetic resonance technology. Designed for ground/in-field placement, customized electronics and receivers on the unmanned system enable power transfer when the UxS lands on the base power transmission unit, eliminating tethered charging or return-to-base delays. Wide surface charging area removes any requirement for precise alignment.
Engineered for agility and resilience in the most austere and contested tactical environments, the system delivers power through obstacles such as snow, ice, water and soil, and can be tactically deployed beneath debris to support covert operations. Compatible with multiple power sources, including solar, batteries and solid fuel cells, the system can be operated remotely via tactical radio or satellite. When deployed as a series of tactical recharging nodes, BATLCHRG UX allows unmanned systems to transit between operating areas without the need to return to the operator for re- charging. Dislocating the UxS from operator location significantly reduces human exposure to battlefield threats, enhances logistic efficiency and drives extended platform endurance for robotic systems.
Galvion originally demonstrated its BATLCHRG wireless charging concept at SOF Week in May 2024 in a vehicle-mounted operation scenario, with power transmission base in a vehicle seat and receiver integrated in soldier-worn vest. The set-up demonstrated that soldiers could charge multiple battery powered systems through the wireless power transfer system. Like BATLCHRG UX, this robust wireless solution has excellent power transfer rates and efficiency, a broad position tolerance to account for movement and misalignment of surfaces, and functionality even in the harshest environments. The manned wireless charging capability is known as BATLCHRG MX.
Todd Stirtzinger, CEO at Galvion said: “It’s no secret that power has been a problem for the military as technology increases. We’ve been addressing this issue for the soldier for over a decade, developing intelligent power delivery and management solutions to increase mission efficiency by minimizing battery loads, and physical and logistical burden. The power problem increases exponentially when you start to add in unmanned systems, and the BATLCHRG capability is really pushing the boundaries on the battlefield.” He added: “This technology transforms tactical logistics by providing continuous, autonomous access to power in the most demanding environments. It’s not just about powering devices, it’s about generating tactical advantage by enabling persistent, agile operations that keep our warfighters ahead of the threat.”
