November 16th, 2021

Galvion’s advanced lithium-ion battery technology strengthens Stryten’s Military and Government energy storage portfolio.

Alpharetta, Georgia
Stryten Energy LLC, a U.S.-based energy storage solutions provider, today announced it has acquired the assets of Galvion Vehicle Power, a division of Galvion Inc., a developer of advanced protective equipment, power management and data solutions for military and tactical clients worldwide.

The acquisition comes as the Biden administration, and notably the U.S. Department of Defense, are redoubling the commitment to boost U.S. manufacturing capabilities of highly specialized lithium-ion batteries. These batteries are vital to U.S. military preparedness, energy security and the advancement of clean energy goals.

Galvion has developed groundbreaking, safe and reliable lithium-ion energy storage solutions to meet demanding military requirements. Galvion’s Symbasys SWitchPack™ and SWATPACK™ lithium battery products will join Stryten’s newly formed Military and Government Division’s suite of power solutions that serves the public sector market. Solutions will include advanced lead and lithium battery technologies for submarines, combat vehicles, microgrids and ground logistics applications.

The SWitchPack i6T Li-ion vehicle battery is at the forefront of battery technology, powering the increasing number of electronic subsystems in current and future military vehicles. The i6T meets demanding military standards, including MIL-STD-1275, MIL-STD-810 and MIL-PRF-32565B when subjected to extensive ballistic and non-ballistic penetration, as well as UN 38.3 commercial safety standards.

The SWATPACK Li-ion battery allows modular and scalable energy systems for Silent Watch on tactical vehicles. Able to withstand the most challenging battlefield environments with a balance of lifecycle and energy density, this flexible system adapts to a wide variety of vehicle platforms requiring scalable energy from 4kWhr to over 100kWhr. The SWATPACK meets industry safety requirements (UL 2580 and UN38.3) and military standards (MIL-STD 1275D, MIL-STD 810).

“Energy storage solution companies like Stryten Energy are critical to strengthening America’s supply chain and ensuring access to advanced lead and lithium battery technologies,” said Tim Vargo, Chief Executive Officer of Stryten Energy. “We are excited to welcome Galvion’s experienced Vehicle Power team to Stryten Energy. The addition of their extensive lithium battery knowledge to our Research and Development group, as well as Galvion’s Vehicle Power Division assets, will provide our customers with next-generation lithium battery technology. This acquisition further solidifies our ability to help lead the transition to a clean energy economy.”

“Stryten Energy’s commitment to supplying Military and Government customers with premium energy storage solutions, combined with their manufacturing and distribution capabilities, makes them the ideal partner to acquire Galvion’s Vehicle Power division,” said Galvion CEO, Jonathan Blanshay. “This divestiture further supports our strategy to sharpen our focus and drive expanded capability, innovation and growth initiatives to deliver enhanced warfighter survivability and lethality.”

Canadian International Trade Tribunal Finds in Favor of Rampart International in Canada Military Handgun Procurement Dispute

November 16th, 2021

According to information received by SSD, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal recently found in favor of Rampart International Corp regarding two complaints against a recent Department of National Defense requirement for a new pistol, dubbed the C22. CITT is the governing body for disputes with government procurement in Canada.

Specifically, Rampart took issue with a draft pistol requirement published by the Department of Public Works and Government Services (Solicitation W8476-216392/B).

In their determination, CITT recommends PWGSC cancel the draft solicitation and issue a new version. In the revised solicitation, if PWGSC specifies a particular design, it should also include the words “or equivalent.”

As part of the determination, CITT also recommends that PWGSC reimburse Rampart for the reasonable costs incurred preparing their protest. Essentially, lawyer fees.

This action will likely result in another multi-year delay in replacing Canada’s worn-out Browning Hi-Power pistols (and SIG P-225 used by Military Police). The effort to procure a new gun has gone on for at least a decade with DND calling on the international arms industry in 2011 to offer up their Technical Data Packages for manufacture of their pistol designs by Colt Canada. Understandably, they didn’t have any takers.

Traditionally, Canada turns to its Munitions Supply Program to procure arms manufactured in Canada. One of the issues that has caused a hold up with the program is that there are no suitable domestically produced pistols. Hence, the earlier call for foreign designs. But that may have changed.

Ultimately, this is a huge boon for CZ who recently acquired Colt Canada. They could assert their right to include a CZ handgun on the Munitions Supply List and demand the Canadian military purchase it. This isn’t as bad for the Canadians as it might sound on its surface. CZ builds some great handguns, including the new P-10 as well as the P-09 which was competed in the US Army Modular Handgun System competition. This is significant because DND believes they require a Modular Handgun, somewhat similar to what the US purchased. However, with the MSL once again in play, they may get what they are offered, and like it.

TacMed Tuesday – ARK Bag Configurations

November 16th, 2021

One prominent kit from TacMed™ is the ARK™ Active Shooter Response Kit. It’s designed to provide individuals responding to active shooter situations with the equipment necessary to render aid and initiate evacuation of multiple casualties. The design of the bag and its contents allow responders to maximize the resources available on scene and does not hinder or slow down the clearing process of the structure or incident area.

A unique aspect of this bag is that it can be configured as the traditional ARK™, designed for multiple casualties, or the ARK™ Evacuation, which is configured with an evacuation litter that allows for a one-to-one rescuer-to-casualty ratio.

In the main body of the bag, the ARK™ contains seven ARK™ Casualty Throw Kits which hold basic treatment material and simple bi-lingual instructions for providing initial treatment. The throw kit idea was designed assuming that officers don’t always have time to stop and treat, but rather can ‘throw’ kits with instructions to those in need while they continue to clear the area. With multiple storage compartments, the ARK™ is not only for basic treatment. Medics maintain more advanced equipment in the side pockets for treatment of teammates if necessary.

The ARK™ Evacuation configuration is designed to significantly reduce the treatment and evacuation time of seriously injured casualties in a hostile environment. Rather than being stocked with Casualty Throw Kits, the ARK™ Evacuation comes with the choice of including a Foxtrot Litter or a Foxtrot DA in the body of the bag. This configuration provides the necessary equipment for aid and litter teams, combat lifesavers, and medical operators to treat and evacuate a casualty in one compact package.
