On the modern battlefield, electrical power at the tactical edge is a prerequisite for maintaining situational awareness, targeting, ISR, command and control, and survivability. Small units require power sources that are portable, rugged, reliable, and have a low thermal, acoustic, and electromagnetic signature. The Iris Technology Power HIVE Power Management and Distribution System prioritizes connected loads and delivers up to 1.5 kW of managed power output. With six standard BB-2590 batteries topped up from any available AC/DC power source, the system automatically transitions between external and battery power. This enables battery replacement without interrupting the supported load. Each BB-2590 battery is managed by a smart charging algorithm on a per-battery basis, capable of safe recovery and achieving maximum charging speeds, with visibility into individual battery status and input/output power. Power HIVE’s DC input accepts compatible power sources such as vehicle batteries, fuel cells, and solar sources. Its flexible, modular architecture makes the Power HIVE the portable mission power node that keeps radios, UAS platforms, EW systems, and other tactical electronic equipment mission-capable. Forward operations At a CP, TOC or FOB, the Power HIVE can power connected radios, computers, and other electronic equipment, while simultaneously replenishing its attached BB-2590 batteries from…
