Discover cutting-edge solutions from 19 leading global suppliers
ePropelled, a hardware solutions provider represented by UAV Propulsion Tech, has expanded its USA-made Hercules series of power generation and management solutions for UAVs.
The expansion aims to meet rapidly growing worldwide demand, producing rugged, compact, and powerful Hercules hybrid-ready propulsion solutions that should satisfy the need for extended range and mission agility for any uncrewed applications.
As a global leader in advanced propulsion and energy management technologies for uncrewed vehicles, ePropelled understands that integrated power technologies that support hybrid propulsion systems – cooperatively combining electric motors and internal combustion engines — are rapidly expanding uncrewed vehicles’ capabilities, not only for aerial drones and military applications, but across diverse land and marine vehicle uses.
Designed to deliver maximum power at the least weight and in high temperature environments, ePropelled’s Hercules starter generators produce dependable power from 500W to 12kW.
The expanded Hercules series includes five starter generators, four intelligent power systems, and an agile electronic engine starter motor controller for complex hybrid power conversion requirements.
Unique to ePropelled, Hercules features ePConnected™ real-time performance data services via standard CAN 2.0 interfaces to monitor such parameters as temperatures, voltages, amps, rpm, and power variables to enable useful applications via an open API, to gather analytics, and for creating parameter alerts based on specific uses and mission profiles.
Made in the USA, ePropelled’s Hercules systems comply with rapidly shifting US trade requirements, such as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Nick Grewal, CEO of ePropelled, commented, “Our Hercules line of power generation products is empowering our customers’ drones to achieve mission ranges of over 1,000 km.
“These products lead the worldwide uncrewed systems market in power-to-weight ratio, performance, and advanced control and instrumentation through the ePConnected™ protocols to provide enhanced mission awareness for our customers.”
