Joule Case was one of only 75 technologies selected to participate in the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering, (OUSD(R&E)) T-REX 24-2. The groundbreaking multi-week event is designed to accelerate the development of innovative military capability prototype technologies and facilitate rapid fielding through scenario-based training.
Joule Case unveiled an exclusive preview of its METEOR quiet tactical power prototype, a revolutionary solution that delivers over 30% more power than traditional Mobile Electric Power Systems (MEPS), commonly known as diesel generators, while being just 1/5th the size.
Joule Case successfully deployed 21 METEOR modules – 15 Tactical Energy Modules, 5 Tactical Power Modules, and 1 Tactical Power Distribution Module, along with a 700W hand carry carbon fiber solar array
Concurrently, METEOR underwent a comprehensive evaluation by the (OUSD(R&E)) assessment team. According to an individual on the assessment team, "Objective ratings were correlated and considered to determine the technical performance and operational readiness of METEOR matched claims across four critical operational issues that broadly address performance and suitability in an operationally relevant environment". This assessment highlights the system's readiness for deployment in a variety of mission-critical environments.
Throughout the event, Joule Case integrated its METEOR system with multiple cutting-edge technologies across over 20 mission-critical settings spanning ground, maritime, air, and space domains. In collaboration with industry partners such as Amazon Disaster Response, Darkhive, Greensight, Firestorm, Polymath Robotics, Silvus Technologies, and others, Joule Case provided critical power support for the event.
The METEOR system delivered 24/7 power to Amazon Web Services (AWS), specifically powering their Mission Control Center, mesh 5G network, and communications equipment distributed throughout the CAIN Joint Maneuver Training Center.
The power and versatility of the METEOR system was particularly evident during high-stakes simulations, where operational success often hinges on dependable power and energy. This caught the attention of military leadership, with special recognition from LTC Matthew Limeberry, Commander of the Rapid Defense Experimentation Reserve (RDER) Task Force.
"The Joule Case METEOR became a combat multiplier and an instrumental technology ensuring the success of Technology Readiness Experimentation (T-REX) 24-2. The on-demand mobile power capability complimented by no fumes, a low RF signature, and silent operational output was absolutely incredible. This is a must-have resource for any environment, allowing maximum scalable power that is practically undetectable. When operating in a remote or contested environment, you want every tactical advantage to guarantee survivability; METEOR provides just that. The Joule Case team is a first-class group of folks to work with and we were happy to have them as partners and enablers of an operationally relevant environment during T-REX."
Joule Case played a pivotal role in supporting Amazon Disaster Response at T-REX 24-2 by providing continuous power to their camp and their critical technologies deployed on-site. METEOR ensured seamless operation for various essential systems, powering everything from communication tools to disaster response equipment, without the need for traditional fossil fuel generators.
"The versatility and portability of METEOR make it a game-changer for our teams working in remote or hard-to-reach areas affected by disasters. By integrating METEOR into our operations, we're not only improving our ability to respond effectively but also setting an example for environmentally conscious disaster relief efforts industry-wide.” - Jeffrey Schweitzer, Team Lead at Amazon Disaster Response
The METEOR system is designed and manufactured in the United States, with production based in Austin, Texas. Engineered in collaboration with Beta Sentient, the METEOR system reflects cutting-edge innovation and technical expertise, ensuring its reliability and performance in mission-critical environments.
