Description
West Coast Solutions (Wecoso) has teamed with American Lithium Energy (ALE) to propose an ultra-lightweight expeditionary power system (U-LEPS) that promises to be substantially lighter than existing systems. A 50% reduction in the battery and support electronics weight is immediately achieved, with additional weight reduction at the system level flowing from the revolutionary new electronics architecture. Elegant simplicity informed by the actual way these systems are used by the Marines yields opportunities for dramatic reduction in mass, while bringing the corollary benefits of higher reliability, increased robustness, and improved ease of use.
