[ DUAL-USE AUTONOMOUS POWER ARCHITECTURE // DESIGN TARGET: MIL-STD-810H & IP67 ]

SUB-60-SECOND AUTONOMOUS
FLEET TURNAROUND
IN EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS.

Eliminating recharge downtime and terminal contamination. Interecha engineers bolt-on chassis retrofit cowls and sheltered docking bays designed to keep high-voltage contacts isolated from mud, dust and slurry across tactical defense and commercial autonomy operations.

01 / THE FIELD CONTAMINATION & DOWNTIME BOTTLENECK

TWO SECTORS. THE SAME FAILURE PHYSICS.

Two operational sectors facing the exact same connector failure physics.

FAILURE VECTORTACTICAL DEFENSECOMMERCIAL AUTONOMY
01OPERATIONAL IMPACT

Static Targets at the FLOT

Stationary recharging turns autonomous rovers into high-value acoustic and thermal targets at forward lines of troops.

Idled Assets & Lost Productivity

Multi-hour charging cycles idle assets during critical agricultural harvest or mining shift windows, costing $1,000+ per hour in lost field productivity.

02ENVIRONMENTAL INGRESS

Terminal Arcing & Depot Repair

Exposed high-voltage pins pack with ballistic dust, sand and trench slurry, causing terminal arcing, blown BMS contactors and depot-level maintenance cycles.

Corroded Manual Plugs

Fertilizer slurry, unpaved soil and abrasive rock dust corrode and foul standard manual charging plugs within hours.

03INTEGRATION REALITY

Multi-Year Chassis Redesigns

Defense programs cannot afford multi-year, multi-million-dollar chassis redesigns to accommodate proprietary battery bays.

Mixed-OEM Fleets

Mixed-OEM fleets require a universal mechanical exchange standard rather than vendor-locked charging docks.

02 / SHARED TECHNOLOGY ARCHITECTURE

DEBRIS-ISOLATED MECHANICAL & ELECTRICAL EXCHANGE LAYER.

A modular, platform-agnostic hardware interface requiring zero structural chassis modifications.

MODULE 01 / CHASSIS INTERFACE

Vehicle Retrofit Cowl

±25 mmMECHANICAL DOCKING COMPLIANCE
  • Bolt-on mounting directly to existing chassis frame hardpoints.
  • Spring-actuated mechanical debris shutter engineered to target IP67 ingress protection while driving through mud and standing water.
  • Hardened conical alignment guides with ±25 mm mechanical docking compliance to absorb suspension sag and terrain misalignment.
  • High-cycle blind-mate connector housing utilizing COTS IP67-rated multi-lamellar contacts (design target: 5,000+ mating cycles).
  • Integrated bus compatibility for 24V, 48V, 72V and 120V DC architectures.

TARGET PROGRAMS

DLA BATTNET IVDLA LogTechArmy xTechDIU CSO
01

Power as Class III(B) supply

Treats swappable battery cassettes like packaged fuel canisters—sealed, rapidly rotated and shielded from rough handling.

02

Signature management

Shifts battery recharging away from forward positions to protected rear-echelon rotation hubs.

03

Active evaluation baseline

Interface envelope modeling currently aligned to tactical ground platforms, including the EVOKIT 4x4 UGV and heavy demining rovers.

04

TRL roadmap

Currently at TRL 4 (component CAD fitment and bench qualification). Physical environmental chamber trials (MIL-STD-810H sand/dust) scheduled for Phase 1 prototype testing.

04 / ENGINEERING DESIGN TARGETS & PERFORMANCE ENVELOPES

ONE ARCHITECTURE. MISSION-SPECIFIC TOLERANCES.

Configuration-dependent design targets. Final performance and qualification are established during platform evaluation.
