Logos Technologies LLC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: SB133-004

Description

Logos Technologies proposes to modify its multi-fuled, series hybrid-electric powertrain used in its acoustically-suppressed, powered parafoil, the DARPA ParaHawk, and integrate it into the existing off-road, electric motorcycle by BRD.By modifying and combining systems, Logos will significantly reduce risk and development time.Having demonstrated the hybrid powertrain in Phase I, Logos will quickly integrate the modified hybrid system into the BRD existing chassis for full motorcycle tests in Phase II.Logos Technologies believes that its proposed approach not only meets, but exceeds, the governments requirements.Unlike parallel hybrid solutions, a series hybrid can easily be adapted to provide power to both wheels, a silent-mode, and direct integration into other systems with complex layoutsall known DARPA goals.With mass-market commercialization in mind, as well as constrained military budgets, Logos has focused its design on leveraging COTS components while exceeding the military requirements by integrating technologies BRD has developed specifically for electric motorcycles, including a very energy dense battery, high power dense motors, and a motorcycle data system as much as possible.
