Military Ground Power Systems

Delivering high-efficiency DC-DC conversion (>92%) from military battery voltages (10-32 VDC) to multiple regulated outputs for radios, GPS, night vision, and computing platforms, extending mission duration and reducing carried weight.
Ultra-compact, sealed modules meeting IP67 ingress protection for fording, driving rain, and fine sand exposure across 72+ hour missions.
Intelligent load management and battery health monitoring enabling power hubs to prioritize mission-critical loads during low battery states and prevent abrupt communication shutdown.

Horizon PSS takes ownership of compliance and qualification:
Meeting MIL-STD-461G emissions limits for man-portable equipment near body-worn antennas and sensitive receivers, preventing switching noise from desensitizing tactical radios or introducing EW sensor artifacts.
Qualifying per MIL-STD-810H for dismounted operations including temperature extremes (-40°C to +71°C), sand/dust (Method 510.7), rain/humidity (Method 506.6/507.6), salt fog, and transit drop shock. Supporting NATO STANAG 4695 power interface compatibility for soldier-worn distribution, ensuring interoperability with conformal wearable batteries, squad power managers, and allied equipment.

Miniaturized converters for man-portable radios (SINCGARS, MUOS, software-defined radios) with input ranges accommodating BB-2590 packs, conformal wearable batteries, and vehicle auxiliary power simultaneously. Low-noise power for portable EO/IR sensors, target designators, and laser rangefinders where output ripple affects image quality and targeting accuracy.
Rugged power distribution for command post and TOC equipment including tactical servers, satellite terminals, and displays, with generator transient protection and hot-swap field replacement. Shielded conversion for portable EW and SIGINT preventing conducted emissions from compromising receiver sensitivity.

Transparent NRE structures covering power budget characterization, battery discharge profiles, and duty cycle analysis. SWaP optimization with current-generation topologies maintaining thermal performance in fanless sealed enclosures. Configuration control and PCN discipline across multi-year procurement schedules.

Efficiency data across load and temperature, MIL-STD-461G EMI reports, MIL-STD-810H environmental evidence (temperature, sand/dust, rain, drop shock, vibration), battery compatibility data (BB-2590, CWB, STUB), SWaP specifications, and MTBF calculations per MIL-HDBK-217.

MIL-STD-461G and MIL-STD-810H compliance integrated into design from initial architecture, ensuring man-portable equipment passes qualification without late-stage redesigns. Engineering depth covering multi-battery compatibility, SWaP-constrained thermal management, and sealed-enclosure reliability. Production capability maintained throughout program lifecycles.
