ePropelled

ePropelled is a leading developer and manufacturer of innovative software-enabled propulsion solutions for uncrewed systems. Providing end-to-end capabilities for the most demanding missions, the company’s products are truly multi-domain, supporting UAVs, UGVs, USVs and UUVs.

Unified propulsion solutions for scalable uncrewed systems development

Traditional UxV propulsion stacks and drive trains are often assembled from independent components sourced from different vendors, increasing development time and effort while also limiting efficiency and introducing multiple risks at system level.

ePropelled’s eP Unified Architecture (ePUA™) platform combines all necessary components together with connected software into a single unified and optimized system, reducing complexity and enhancing efficiency and control.

• Electric Propulsion Motors: High-efficiency motor platforms engineered to deliver optimal power density, durability and thermal performance
• Motor Controllers & ESCs: Precision control systems that ensure stable and responsive propulsion performance
• Starter Generators & Intelligent Power Systems: Hybrid-ready solutions that extend platform endurance and support onboard electrical loads
• Connected Software and Telemetry: Real-time monitoring, diagnostics and optimization for enhanced visibility and actionable insights

This co-ordinated approach ensures that all layers are designed to work together from the ground up. OEMs and system integrators can create scalable and future-proofed solutions that can be easily adapted to different vehicle classes and mission profiles, from prototypes through to full fleet deployment.

UAV Propulsion Solutions

ePropelled’s revolutionary UAV propulsion portfolio provides solutions to meet the requirements of a wide range of UAV platforms, from FPV and small multirotor drones through to heavy-lift and long-endurance aircraft.

Rhino Series

Software-enabled integrated electric drives for uncrewed & autonomous ground vehicles

The Rhino Series combines a high-performance motor, inverter, encoder and intelligent motor control in a single compact integrated drive solution. With system efficiency exceeding 90%, these rugged propulsion units are specifically designed to make optimum use of available battery energy to extend operational endurance. The coordinated design reduces wiring and engineering effort, providing OEMs with a scalable architecture for virtually any kind of uncrewed or autonomous ground vehicle.

Rhino drives provide precise torque and speed control, with CAN 2.0A communications for vehicle integration. Built-in ePConnect™ capabilities deliver real-time performance monitoring and diagnostics, allowing developers to assess propulsion behavior during development and maintain visibility into deployed systems. IP67-rated construction and forced-air cooling ensure reliable operation in the most demanding of field environments.

The series includes three 48 V propulsion solutions:

All Rhino models are available as compact integrated units or with independent motor and controller assemblies. This flexibility allows designers to accommodate propulsion components around the vehicle’s available space, cooling arrangements and environmental requirements.

Dolphin Series

High-efficiency electric propulsion for uncrewed surface vessels

The Dolphin Series combines advanced motor and controller technologies to provide efficient electric propulsion for uncrewed vessels operating in demanding marine environments. Designed for smooth, quiet operation, the systems offer enhanced maneuverability and reduced maintenance requirements, and are ideal for both electric and hybrid USV applications.

The MPM50 marine propulsion motor delivers up to 6 kW continuous and 11 kW peak power, with 52 Nm peak torque. Featuring software-enabled real-time monitoring and system diagnostics, it ensures consistent high performance across varying load and water conditions.

Software-Enabled Propulsion Monitoring & Optimization

ePropelled’s hardware and power systems are backed by ePConnect™, an advanced software layer that ties the eP Unified Architecture together into a complete propulsion capability.

ePConnect™ gathers a wide range of essential data, including voltage, current, power, RPM, temperature, inductance, resistance, and vibration signatures, to provide real-time monitoring, control adjustments, and actionable insights. This crucial capability gives design engineers, operators and maintenance teams access to the information required to validate new platforms, troubleshoot deployed systems and optimize performance in both single vehicles and entire fleets across air, land and sea.

ePConnect™ also extends this capability further by securely streaming the data to ePropelled’s protected cloud infrastructure for storage, processing, and advanced analytics. Predictive maintenance algorithms and AI-driven optimization can be used to anticipate component failures before they occur, thus minimizing downtime and extending operational lifecycles.

The newly-developed ePLink provides the hardware that enables wireless access to these software capabilities, allowing remote monitoring and software updates.
