All the things we want to do is really about the soldier.

In the mud, cold, wet, tired, hungry, what makes their lives easier or better?

Your average soldier today, they're drawing just by themselves 30 to 60 watts of power continuously during their operation.

So that's basically a mid-tier laptop running all the time.

We're moving towards an increasingly electronic battlefield. There's really this missing power layer that is required to actually field all the time. We were moving towards an increasingly electronic battlefield.

There's really this missing power layer that is required to actually fuel all those systems.

Chariot is building the tactical power layer for robotic warfare.

So we had a lot of passive capabilities that were able to hide kind of sense without kind of

giving away position, but needed the ability to go active when we needed to make an interception.

So that meant that we had to bring the 15 kilowatt generator that was 99% of the time running at 500 watts, creating this detectable signature, both from the thermal acoustic signature and then the resupply because it's using fuel so inefficiently. So there are all these things that create a signature in environments where there shouldn't be signatures, and that means that we can be targeted.

So someone will go plug in a copy pot and it'll take down the air defense radar.

Modern warfare runs on electrons.

Drones, sensors, electronic warfare systems, edge AI.

Every capability the Army wants to field draws power.

But the infrastructure delivering that power hasn't kept pace.

For decades of counterinsurgency, diesel generators and fixed forward operating bases were

enough.

Today, the battlefield is distributed, decentralized, and contested.

Every generator running at 1% capacity is a targetable thermal signature.

Every fuel convoy supplying it is a liability.

The question isn't how to power more things.

It's what the right things are and how to make that power invisible to the enemy.
