The Soldier-Worn Integrated Power Equipment System (SWIPES™) is an innovative power and data distribution system specifically designed to enhance the capabilities of military personnel in the field. This system represents a significant advancement in soldier-worn technology, ensuring that military personnel are equipped with reliable, efficient, and integrated power solutions.
SWIPES™ Technology Overview
- Integrated Power Management: The system features a cable management solution that can be incorporated into armor or rucksacks. This allows for efficient power distribution from commonly used military batteries.
- Trickle Charging: SWIPES™ provides trickle charging to individual pieces of equipment, effectively optimizing power use and significantly reducing the weight that soldiers need to carry by eliminating the requirement for spare batteries.
- Data Transmission: The central hub not only manages power distribution but also facilitates data transmission from individual devices to a central user interface. This enables soldiers to monitor all their networked assets, such as tablets or smartphones, from a single location.
- Enhanced Operational Efficiency: By streamlining power and data management, SWIPES™ enhances the operational efficiency of soldiers, allowing them to focus on their missions without the burden of managing multiple power sources.
