Redler Technologies’ whitepaper discusses the Power Rider Product Family, a solid-state power distribution system, designed to support combat and military vehicles operating in extreme environments. Read here >>
The paper explores how Power Rider, built on electronic Smart Power Distribution Module (eSPDM) technology, integrates into combat vehicles to support military power distribution requirements, while outlining the limitations of traditional mechanical relays and circuit breakers related to weight, wiring complexity, and reliability.
Power Rider integrates smart circuit breakers, real-time monitoring, and automated power management into a compact system designed to support vehicle subsystems such as communications equipment, sensors, weapon systems, and electronic countermeasures. The paper describes system features that include rapid short-circuit protection, arc detection, automatic power prioritization, and reductions in wiring weight.
Power Rider Product Family is designed to scale across multiple military vehicle classes, including main battle tanks, armored personnel carriers, tactical vehicles, and reconnaissance platforms. Additional sections describe built-in diagnostics, predictive maintenance capabilities, and data logging functions, which are presented as methods for reducing maintenance effort and vehicle downtime.
The paper concludes with a case study describing the integration of Power Rider into an armored personnel carrier, reporting reductions in electrical failures and system weight, improved fuel efficiency, and enhanced operational readiness.
