  • The Issues

    The Issues

    Study and develop a prototype for an “Alternative Power Generation” system designed to reduce fossil fuel consumption at military bases during overseas operations (OPEX) through solar energy production and associated energy management

    The Eco-Camps Project, or How to Reduce the Environmental Impact of Overseas Operations (OPEX):
    • Reduce deployed forces’ dependence on fossil fuels through the use of renewable energy,
    • Reduce the logistical burden and associated human costs,
    • Increase the autonomy of the sites,
    • Lower operating costs and, more generally, the “cost of ownership”

  • Solutions

    Solutions

    Technical and Operational Study (ETO) on field-deployed electric generators in operation, in partnership with Ineo SCLE SFE

    Development of the “SE-FOB” (Smart Energy for Forward Operating Base) prototype:
    • enabling any power generation and/or storage system to be connected via a single interface,
    • utilizing renewable energy sources,
    • performing regular measurements within the grid,
    • applying energy efficiency optimization algorithms developed by Ineo Defense
