ABSL brings its experience and capability to the field of platform power for applications, such as Light Armoured Vehicles, where back-up power may be required to allow critical functions such as communications or defensive systems to continue during engine shut or silent watch. Significant potential benefits can be achieved, notably smaller, lighter and more reliable equipment, longer mission times and lower through-life costs.
ABSL’s modular approach to the design of large batteries lends itself to either a centralised energy storage system, or a ‘distributed’ system, allowing retro-fit capability, where space is available to locate individual modules, to upgrade vehicle capability.
