Even before GM Defense was selected to produce the US Army’s Infantry Squad Vehicle they were working on innovative solutions for the US military. Since then, they’ve done quite a bit of work on both electric and hybrid systems.
Their latest project is for the Defense Innovation Unit’s Stable Tactical Expeditionary Electric Power (STEEP) Program on behalf of the Marine Corps which seeks to offer a tactical microgrid and energy management capabilities in austere locations.
Leveraging GM’s Ultium Platform which is used in their electric vehicles, they are building a prototype to provide uninterruptable and sustainable power. GM’s STEEP solution offers intelligent tactical microgrid capabilities that work with hydrogen-powered generators, stationary and mobile battery electric power or existing fuel-powered generators to support efficient power management and distribution.
In a release from GM earlier today, GM Defense president Steve duMont stated, “This contract award demonstrates our ability to leverage advanced commercial technologies and investments from our parent company, GM, to reduce warfighter fuel consumption, and lower acoustic and thermal signatures, while providing efficient energy at the tactical edge. We are proud to win another contract award with DIU, whose mission to accelerate the adoption of commercial technology across the U.S. military aligns with our efforts to transition global defense and government customers to a more electric, autonomous and connected future.”
This is GM Defense’s second win with DIU having previously worked on prototyping a battery system based on GM’s Ultium Platform in support of the Jumpstart for Advanced Battery Standardization (JABS) solicitation.
One of the coolest features of the Small Tactical Universal Battery from EXO Charge is the ability to transfer power from one battery to the other using the USB-C port and cable. This allows you to harvest oower from partially discharged STUBs and share across a small unit. STUB is an Army program of record but the other services are taking a look at it.
From 27-29 June 2023 the EXO Charge division of Xentris Wireless will be showcasing its next-generation, mission-ready power solutions at two events in the Washington D.C. area.
MODERN DAY MARINE
EXO Charge will be exhibiting our latest developments at booth number 2455 (Hall B) at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington D.C. Visit us to see the Small Tactical Universal Battery (STUB) series – and find out about our other latest developments!
POWER SOURCES CONFERENCE
EXO Charge will be exhibiting at booth number 808 at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, National Harbor, Maryland. Our white paper, entitled “The Small Tactical Universal Battery Series – Helping To Solve Modern Tactical Power Challenges”, will be included in the conference proceedings, and we will also be conducting a poster presentation on Wednesday morning the 28th at 10am. We look forward to seeing you there!
At both MODERN DAY MARINE and the POWER SOURCES CONFERENCE EXO Charge will be highlighting the Small Tactical Universal Battery (STUB) series – the next-generation in the evolution of dismounted Warfighter power – plus two new kits designed to assist with the selection and integration of the STUB into tactical electronics:
• STUB Sample Kit – the STUB Sample Kit gives engineers, program managers, OEMs, and end users an example of each type of STUB – both single and double cell stack varieties.
• STUB Developer Kit – the STUB Developer Kit is designed to help electrical engineers create systems and devices optimized for interoperability with a STUB power source.
Whichever event you’re attending, we look forward to your visit. If you would like to book a specific day and time for a conversation, please reach out to us through our website, at www.exocharge.com – or LinkedIn.
This is the methanol powered SFC JENNY 600S fuel cell. It is silent and does not emit a heat signature. This 600 Wh generator weighs 3.75 lbs and will charge batteries as well as communicate with them. Also offered in a 1200 Wh model.
Hybrid Power Solutions offers battery pack systems in three sizes. Seen here is the Medium or Batt Pack Pro which offers 5,000w at 120v. The batteries of all of their systems is LiFePO4.
Their other two systems are the Batt Pack Energy at 3,000w and Batt Pack Jupiter at 7,000w. They can be configured for 120v or 240v service and 50Hz or 60Hz.
They can be recharged from shore power, vehicles, generators, solar panels, other batteries, etc.
This and other products shown at Rampart Range Day are available for unit and agency orders in Canada and the US through Rampart.
