Gaining a tactical advantage through efficient power management

Ahead of Military Power Systems 2018, Defence IQ had the opportunity to gain exclusive insight from Tony White, Chief Technology Officer Land at Ultra Electronics and speaker at the conference. In this exclusive transcript of the interview, he outlines:

  • What tactical advantages an efficient power management system can bring to troops
  • What challenges are faced by militaries when willing to implement fully integrated and interoperable power systems for the dismounted soldier
  • What solutions exist for troops to have power generating bases in austere environments
  • The advantages of hybrid or electric vehicles for troops

Powering the soldier of the future: Current solutions and future investments

The increasingly complicated electronic hardware carried by dismounted soldiers on expeditionary missions are becoming heavier, and troops need to find solutions to efficiently generate the additional energy needed in austere environments. We surveyed military experts from across all domains – air, land and sea – to gain an exclusive insight on their forecasted investment in power harvesting and management solutions. In this infographic, learn more about:

- The types of solutions military experts think are best to lighten the dismounted soldier’s load

- What solutions are best to enhance energy efficiency for military bases and platforms

- What existing solutions and companies they believe are the most promising for enhancing power management for the dismounted soldier, military bases and platforms
