October 5, 2023 (Redmond, WA) B.E. Meyers & Co., Inc., a leading provider of advanced photonics and defense technologies, has partnered with The Brad and Nancy Meyers Family Fund to co-sponsor HunterSeven Foundation’s cancer screenings for military veterans as part of the Integrative Warrior Health Summit. This joint effort reflects our shared commitment to supporting Veterans’ health and well-being. The Integrative Warrior Health Summit will be held on October 8th, 2023 from 2PM – 8PM at the Military Women’s Memorial in Arlington, VA. www.classy.org/event/integrative-warrior-health-summit/e516870

Cancer remains a significant health concern amongst Veterans, and early detection plays a crucial role in improving outcomes. Matthew Meyers, CEO of B.E. Meyers & Co. stated, “As someone who was diagnosed with cancer (Hodgkin’s Lymphoma) in 2009 as an active duty Infantryman following exposure to toxins while deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, early detection is key, and this is why HunterSeven Foundation’s incredible work is so important to us. Undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy is difficult enough, and being able to access cancer screenings that help with early detection is imperative to ensure proper care is rendered for all those who answered their nation’s call”.

The HunterSeven Foundation, a Veteran-founded, 501(c)(3) organization, conducts research on military exposures among post-9/11 Veterans and educates the Veteran on critical health information related to their exposures. HunterSeven Foundation is prominently recognized in the military medical community for their work regarding the identification of potential toxic exposures and resultant illnesses among military veterans. As a result, it equips both veterans and their healthcare providers with crucial, evidence-based information concerning these exposures.

Galvion Demonstrates ‘Charge on the Move’ Vehicle Mounted Soldier Power Solution at AUSA ‘23

Thursday, October 5th, 2023

Galvion, a world leader in power and data management solutions and innovative head protection systems, will be demonstrating their “Charge on the Move” vehicle mounted soldier power solution, in response to emerging requirements to provide power and battery charging to dismounted troops while they are being transported in vehicles. This announcement coincides with AUSA, taking place in Washington DC, 9-11 October 2023, where Galvion is exhibiting this system alongside their wider product offering on booth #618.

The foundation of Galvion’s Charge on the Move solution is the field-proven and widely adopted Squad Power Manager™ (SPM) in a vehicle mounted configuration in order to streamline the connection between the onboard vehicle power systems and Galvion’s personal-worn power and data systems. The SPM converts vehicle power for direct operator use and provides smart charging when needed— no need for a large generator or extra batteries. Input power can be done through NATO tactical connections, via DC “cigarette” plug adapter, or direct from the vehicle battery, on-board AC or solar. The system is compatible with most tactical vehicles currently in use. Working in conjunction with Galvion’s power and data ecosystem, dismounted soldiers connect into the system using Galvion’s Personal Worn Scavenger™ (PWS) via low-profile, sealed magnetic connection, which provides quick connect-disconnect capability day or night and while wearing gloves, and gives a more secure and robust link. Operators can keep radios and other mission-critical equipment running while simultaneously trickle-charging personal-worn batteries and equipment. Additionally, Galvion’s proprietary Nerv Centr® Application, an integrated capability with the 2-Port Power & Data Hub™ (PDH-2), allows operators to monitor power supply versus demand, enabling quick analysis of power requirements. Up to four soldiers can connect to the SPM simultaneously, allowing dismounted soldiers to step off the vehicle fully charged and ready-to-go.

Kristen Lomastro, President of Active Systems at Galvion, said: “This Charge on the Move solution further optimizes the functionality and efficiency of our power management and wearable power & data ecosystems, taking up minimal real estate but providing maximum value. System interoperability builds flexibility and agility for the warfighter and increases their ability to respond and adapt to changes in operational demands. Lessening the burden on the individual operator and unit, whether physical, cognitive, or logistic, drives everything we do at Galvion, and this solution ticks all the boxes to enhance performance and support mission success.”

The new models are poised to support this evolution by protecting, mounting, and connecting smartdevices, ensuring they withstand the rigors of mission-critical tasks.
