Our history
It all started with a field op and a frustrated grunt on Ft. Carsons windy training grounds. The PSQ-20 thermal monocular he was issued just kept running out of batteries and the grunt kept changing batteries multiple times a night. After a week in the field and bout 30 wasted AA's later, the grunt went home, sat down behind his computer and began designing. He went on to develop a solar charging solution that could power his thermal all night and relieve him of the brick of batteries in his sustainment pouch. The next field op lasted two weeks, the grunt took the prototype above with him. In the entire two weeks, he never had to change the batteries on his PSQ-20s. The grunt thought to himself, "I better PATENT this." Now, here we are. Our mission moving forward is to develop and produce self charging power supplies for all current and future war fighting systems.
