Applications for portable SFC fuel cells: Special Forces

Deployment of JENNY 600S fuel cell and SFC Power Manager for special forcesbild_mann_jenny

  

  • The JENNY 600S and the Power Manager serve as a reliable remote source of power for any portable system (electronic/optical, radio, computer, weapons systems). 

  • The Power Manager enables troops to feed power from other sources of energy such as solar panels or batteries in the field into the network.

  • The JENNY 600S and the SFC Power Manager work reliably, quietly, and fully automatically in any weather, in any climate and in any season.

  • Thanks to the two units, it is possible to reduce the weight of the batteries that a soldier has to take on a 72-hour mission by up to 70 percent.

The following table compares the weight, energy, and volumes of three power solutions for special forces:

  

They are:

  • conventional lithium primary batteries
  • network of batteries with the SFC Power Manager for more efficient battery use
  • SFC fuel-cell system with the JENNY 600S, the SFC Power Manager, and a hybrid battery.

The SFC fuel-cell system is able to power all the special force’s technical devices reliably and continually. At the same time, it can reduce weight by up to 50%.
