Widget Wednesday: Operating Unmanned Air and Ground Vehicles in Austere Environments

October 24th, 2018

Air and ground based drones continue to become more and more prevalent in military and law enforcement operations, often as ISR and EOD assets, and occasionally in a more offensive posture (as when the Dallas PD took out a cop-killer in 2016 with surprise package).

However, remote or undeveloped areas present significant challenges to keeping UAV and UGV assets fully operational because of a lack of wall sockets and dependable electric power grids for charging their batteries. Our portable power management solutions enable operators to draw power from any available source; such as a vehicle battery or DC outlet, a solar blanket, a field generator, or other batteries. UAV & UGV operators can use our systems to charge the batteries of platforms, control stations, and supporting comm’s equipment.

Thanks to our bi-directional, plug-and-play technology, UAV & UGV batteries can also be used as a power source for other electronic equipment – helping to simplify a team or unit’s energy logistics and battery burden.

Our power management solutions currently support the following UAV and UGV systems:
• Aeryon Labs R60 SkyRanger® (R70 SkyRaider® in development)
• AeroVironment RQ-11B Raven (RQ-20 Puma in development)
• Endeavor Robotics FirstLook®, PackBot®, and SUGV
• Any system that runs on a standard battery or battery pack

For further information about UAV and UGV field charging solutions, visit www.PTXnomad.com or contact us through Team.Room@Protonex.com.

The DRB Woodsman Shirt is a part of their Made in USA CORE-Line of products by Prometheus Design Werx.

The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:

“The Woodsman Shirt under our Danger Ranger Bear label continues to be some of our most popular editions. The DRB sub-brand is a look back to classic outdoor Americana but updated with modern considerations for today’s users, while retaining their best legacy qualities. We make the only wool outdoor shirt with patterning details taken from modern technical performance wear, the chest pockets have been resized to fit something besides a pack of Lucky Strikes, and the work wear, industrial grade construction is the most bomber of any shirt of its type available on the market. It’s these small, but critical details, which make our designs, stand apart. They are subtle, strong, but they are there. Our new Heather Gray color was inspired by vintage alpine and mountaineering styles. The Camp Master Red is bold, a call to action, and is in honor of the long outdoor American tradition of Scouting. We’ve always been a fan of stoic Navy Blue, and the Special Edition in 21oz Woolrich is a heavyweight classic with a nod to the US Navy CPO Shirt. The Woodsman Shirts are built to last, posses timeless styling, function, and made here in California, USA.”

The Woodsman Shirt in Heather Gray and Woolrich Navy Blue will be available for purchase on Wednesday, October 24, 2018 at 12:00pm PT via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.

The Camp Master Red to follow on OCT 31, 2018.
