DIMONA, Israel, September 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Epsilor, a globally recognized developer and manufacturer of
mobile energy products for defense and aerospace applications, has
developed a new Soldier Wearable Power Communication System under
the name NETWALKER.
The new solution will be unveiled at the Defense and Security
Equipment International (DSEI) show, which will take place in
London, UK on September 12-15, 2017.
NETWALKER offers the following advantages:
- Personal interconnected communication system - Today's
soldiers operate many different digital devices. These include
sensors and target acquisition systems that transfer visual
information and data to the tactical computer where the soldier can
manually add information. This data is transmitted to the command
and control center. The new NETWALKER facilitates two-way
communication flow, enabling the fighter to acquire and transmit
targets and, in parallel, receive information from his/her command
center. The NETWALKER conveys information between all the soldier
wearable gear via a set of cables.
- Central wearable ergonomic battery - NETWALKER
eliminates the need to carry numerous batteries for different
devices. The new system, which includes a lightweight ergonomic
flexible battery, charges all soldier wearable devices, ensuring
efficient energy management. The whole system is integrated into
the textile vest, offering maximum comfort.
"Five years ago, in order to enable such a level of
interconnectivity, you needed a communication center in a 20-foot
shelter. Today, the same capabilities are offered in the soldier
wearable unit," said Alex Stepansky, Epsilor's
General Manager. "NETWALKER enables the charging of all
electronic equipment through a single power source with a single
connection."
The system has two major components:
- A conformal ergonomic wearable battery which is flexible and
lightweight, offering maximum comfort and which can be charged from
many different sources.
- An energy and communication system with a large number of ports
enabling flexibility. The system manages all of the energy in use
and offers an Ethernet switch and USB hub.
Epsilor, together with sister company Electric Fuel Battery
(EFB), now merged with UEC Electronics, was the first to offer a
Soldier Wearable Integrated Power Equipment System (SWIPES™) which
was recognized by the U.S. Army Research, Development and
Engineering Command as 'One of the U.S. Army's Ten Greatest
Inventions of 2010'.
