Description

The CornerTurn team will develop a prototype of a system that will be able to wirelessly transfer power to a soldier worn rechargeable main battery pack while the soldier is seated in a military vehicle. The initial target platforms will be to power the main battery in the Soldier Worn Integrated Power Equipment System(SWIPES) while the soldier is seated inside a Stryker Infantry Carrier Vehicle. The project goal will be to wirelessly transfer at least 40 W of power to each soldier while minimizing any actions required of the soldier. The projected design for the final operational system shall satisfy all environmental and EMI/EMC requirements, and the exposure of the soldier to the resulting E-field and B-field energy shall not pose a health or safety risk. Required modifications to host the system in other vehicles and charge other soldier equipment shall be minimal.
