Galvion Unveils BATLCHRG UX Unmanned Platform Wireless Charging System at DSEI 2025

Thursday, September 4th, 2025

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.”

TCI Launches Two New Rackmount COMINT RF Systems for Success in Modern Electronic Warfare

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2025

Wappenham, UK, 2 September 2025: TCI, part of SPX Communications Technologies, today introduces two new Radio Frequency (RF) Receivers, designed for continuous, real-time signal collection to support Communications Intelligence (COMINT) operations. The 955 Rackmount RF COMINT and Geolocation System and the 957 Rackmount RF COMINT and Independent Geolocation System will be shown for the first time at DSEI 2025, 9–12 September, ExCeL London, Stand N6-130.

The systems deliver rapid detection, filtering, and geolocation of RF communication signals across congested spectrum environments, enabling faster decision-making and reaction times, improved threat awareness, and greater operational agility. Their 80 MHz Instantaneous Bandwidth – double that of its predecessor – allows wide-area signal collection for broad situational awareness, or narrower focus for heightened sensitivity in challenging RF conditions.

Combining two geolocation techniques – Hybrid Angle of Arrival (AOA) and Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) – enables precise signal location with fewer deployed assets, even over low-bandwidth or intermittent networks.

The rugged, rack-mounted design supports deployment in vehicles, fixed installations, or forward field positions. Both models are built for mission flexibility, with the ability to switch roles without reconfiguration, from counter-terrorism and border security to front-line combat. The 955 is optimised for single-unit, vehicle-mounted, or stand-alone operations, while the 957 offers enhanced processing capacity for simultaneous, independent tasking and networked multi-sensor geolocation across dispersed teams.

The RF systems also feature a 72-hour look-back recording capability, enabling operators to identify a new threat and immediately analyse historical spectrum activity to extract further intelligence. The feature also supports automated and remote monitoring options, reduces manpower requirements for persistent 24/7 operations, and lowers operational costs. A database allows further intelligence analysis for days, weeks and months.

Both systems operate using TCI’s Blackbird software, currently in operational use on almost 1,000 frontline systems worldwide. Blackbird provides an intuitive interface that reduces training time and enables less experienced operators to perform effective COMINT tasks, immediately expanding the possible pool of operators. It allows highly skilled personnel to remain in safer, decentralised positions while remotely managing deployed systems, multiplying force effectiveness.

Built on the combat-proven heritage of their predecessor, the 953 receiver, the new 955 and 957 are backwards compatible with existing SPX Communication Technologies and partner systems, including the ECS BLACKTALON counter-uncrewed aerial system (C-UAS) solution, for scalable integration into wider electronic warfare architectures.

“Today, electronic warfare is at the heart of all defence operations, and mastering the spectrum is now as critical as controlling the air,” says David Beckett, Battlespace Business Development Director at TCI. “Our new systems give defence teams the decisive intelligence they need to succeed.”

The 955 and 957 are now available. See them for the first time at DSEI 2025, 9–12 September, ExCeL London, Stand N6-130, or contact tci_sales@spx.com for more information.
