Protonex Bags Incremental $1.49m Contract From US Army
Published: 05-Feb-2010
Protonex Technology, a provider of fuel cell power systems, has received an incremental $1.49m contract award from the US Army CECOM to deliver additional advanced portable battery charger / APU fuel cell products. This follows the US Army CECOM’s decision to exercise an option in its original contract with the company, which was announced on January 20, 2010.
This award increases the total funded value of the overall contract to $3.34m and additional options remain within the contract which, if awarded, could increase the total value of the contract to $6.4m.
Under the terms of this eight-month, phase two program, Protonex is expected to deliver 30 additional portable battery charger / APU products to the U.S. Army for field use. The M250-CX units will include all of the next-generation improvements developed during the phase one program, which include increased power output, further integrated battery management and charging capabilities, additional ruggedisation and reduced overall size and weight.
Protonex said that its M250-CX system is a 250-watt portable power system designed to meet the stringent demands of a range of military battery charging and auxiliary power unit applications. The design combines advances in fuel cell energy conversion and battery charging technology into one complete product solution to provide military battery charging and 28V auxiliary power with low weight, noise, and thermal signature.
Greg Cipriano, vice president of marketing & military development at Protonex, said: “This additional phase two program is another important milestone for Protonex as our M250-CX power systems move closer to deploying to our US soldiers. We are excited about delivering on our first low volume order for the M250-CX, one of the company’s flagship military products.”
