FIST Case Study
ABSL were selected by Thales to be Power Solution Provider within the UK MoD Future Integrated Soldier Technology (FIST) Assessment Phase programme. ABSL's holistic approach power provision was demonstrated within the programme and continues to influence the evolving vision for FIST. Within the programme, ABSL supplied Batteries, Power Management Units (PMUs) (pdf), Chargers and Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) tools for Infantry trials.
"Selecting the best integrated power system solution is a critical element in the success of the FIST AP Programme. We are working closely with ABSL to bring the benefits of advanced UK portable power technology to the assessment phase of FIST and its associated trials. We believe this will lead to a significant enhancement to the individual soldier's capability as well as a reduction to his physical and logistic burden." - FIST Project Director, Thales PCMO.
