SFC Energy AG - Press Release
SFC Energy receives order for its new UFC (Underground Fuel Cell) from
International Defense Force
- SFC Energy's UFC ensures up to 2 years of unattended operation of
sensors or surveillance cameras without requiring fuel cartridge
exchanges
- Product is installed underground, with almost zero thermal or sound
detectability, for maximum efficiency and security of covert operations
- UFC is the second SFC fuel cell type the International Defense Force
has ordered, building on the success of the NGFC (Next Generation Fuel
Cell) order placed in 2015
Brunnthal/Munich, Germany, September 14, 2016 - SFC Energy, a leading
provider of hybrid power solutions to the stationary and mobile power
generation markets, announces the receipt of an order of a major
International Defense Force for the delivery of SFC Energy's new UFC
Underground Fuel Cell. The order is scheduled for delivery in 2017 and has
a total value of more than EUR 0.3m. The International Defense Force's UFC
order builds on the success of SFC Energy's NGFC, for which the
Organization had placed an order in early 2015.
SFC Energy's UFC will be used to reliably power sensor and surveillance
equipment in harsh environments. In the mission scenario of this order, the
UFC must reliably power the devices for up to two years without any user
attendance or fuel cartridge exchanges. For this purpose it is equipped
with two standard M28 SFC fuel cartridges (56 l of fuel total).
The UFC, a derivative based on the successful track record of SFC's EMILY
fuel cell platform, expands into underground and covert applications. At a
weight of only 25 kg the fully integrated power generator can be easily
carried by soldiers, police and law enforcement officers. The system is
certified for air transportation.
The UFC is supplied in a fully integrated system complete with battery and
a choice of fuel cartridges from 5 to 28 l. Number and size of cartridges
can be selected upon mission requirement by the operator to ensure
unattended undetectable power for as many weeks, months or even years as
required without user attendance.
Major advantages of the UFC are extremely long power autonomy of the
devices operated without user attendance, almost zero detectable thermal or
noise signatures, light weight and ultra rapid deployment. It can be used
above ground or underground in a multitude of security & surveillance
applications.
"The UFC is the latest addition to our dedicated portfolio of off-grid and
back-up power solutions for defense and security applications," says Dr.
Peter Podesser, CEO of SFC Energy. "Our portable, vehicle-based and
stationary power products are successfully used by many international
defense organizations in their missions. In view of the growing need for
more safety and protection we see a large potential for our products in
supplying reliable off-grid and back-up power to defense and security
devices, i.e. in border protection, public event and site monitoring, and
covert mobile and stationary applications."
Numerous international NATO and PfP defense organizations are using SFC
Energy fuel cell products. SFC Energy has been cooperating closely with
German Bundeswehr, U.S. Army and other Defense Organizations for over 10
years, with SFC products carrying NATO stock numbers. SFC Energy has sold
in total over 35,000 fuel cell systems in defense and security, off-grid
industry and consumer applications worldwide.
