SAN DIEGO, Feb. 4 (UPI) -- Falcon Electric announced the launch of its next-generation power conversion technology to support the U.S. military's evolving mobile power requirements.
Falcon Wednesday unveiled its new ED LIB Series 5kVA uninterruptible power system at the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association West conference taking place in San Diego through Thursday.
Falcon says its new ED LIB power conversion system, approved for use aboard the military's High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle and other tactical vehicles, is designed to support power requirements for mission critical computer and communications systems in mobile applications.
"With the Lithium-Polymer battery system weighing 55 pounds, the Army was impressed by the system's light weight, small size and a stellar backup time of 25 minutes at 2,300 watts -- a lead-acid battery equivalent would weigh over 150 pounds," Michael Stout, Falcon Electric vice president of engineering, said in a statement.
"Every pound saved is an extra pound of armor on the vehicle and this is vital for occupant safety."
