✦ Synopsis
in a Mobion laboratory test unit, in the same size package. In the military markets, MTI Micro is focusing its proprietary technology to target market entry next year for key portable applications in day-to-day military operations such as multi-band, secured communications radios and remote, unattended sensors.
The Mobion test units ran continuously on one integrated fuel tank to achieve greater than 380 Wh of energy in the same size and shape as the BA5590 battery. This application would be ideal for running low-power military sensors.
MTI Micro recently delivered five prototype DMFC power packs for sensor applications to the US Special Operations Command (SOCOM) in partial fulfillment of a US$250 000 contract [FCB, November]. SOCOM aims to halve the size and weight of current portable power sources used by special operations forces in the field, and is evaluating new technologies to achieve this.
This announcement follows the company's plans to enter the government and military market in 2006. To ramp up for entry readiness, the company has met a number of milestones in 2005, and plans to announce an agreement with a lead customer/partner for a military/homeland security product by the end of the year.
