At DSEI 2025, Galvion has unveiled its BATLCHRG™ UX, a portable wireless charging system that expands the company’s BATLCHRG™ capability and supports unmanned systems operating in remote, high-threat environments across land, air, and maritime domains.
BATLCHRG™ UX provides autonomous recharging for unmanned robotic platforms through magnetic resonance technology. It is developed for ground/in-field placement, with customized electronics and receivers on the unmanned system enabling power transfer when the UxS lands on the base power transmission unit. This eliminates tethered charging or return-to-base delays.

Galvion’s system is compatible with multiple power sources, such as solar, batteries and solid fuel cells, and can be operated remotely via tactical radio or satellite. When deployed as a network of tactical recharging nodes, BATLCHRG UX enables unmanned systems to move seamlessly between operational areas without returning to the operator for recharging.
By enabling the unmanned systems to operate independently of the operator’s position, this reduces human exposure to battlefield threats, improves logistic efficiency and maximizes platform endurance for robotic systems.
The wide-surface charging area eliminates the need for precise alignment. Designed for agility and resilience in contested tactical environments, Galvion’s BATLCHRG™ UX delivers power through snow, ice, water, and soil and can be tactically deployed beneath debris to enable covert operations.
Todd Stirtzinger, CEO at Galvion, stated, “It’s no secret that power has been a problem for the military as technology increases. We’ve been addressing this issue for the soldier for over a decade, developing intelligent power delivery and management solutions to increase mission efficiency by minimizing battery loads, and physical and logistical burden.
“The power problem increases exponentially when you start to add in unmanned systems, and the BATLCHRG capability is really pushing the boundaries on the battlefield.
“This technology transforms tactical logistics by providing continuous, autonomous access to power in the most demanding environments. It’s not just about powering devices, it’s about generating tactical advantage by enabling persistent, agile operations that keep our warfighters ahead of the threat.”
The BATLCHRG™ UX builds on the wireless charging capabilities of Galvion’s original BATLCHRG™ system, first demonstrated at SOF Week in May 2024. During a vehicle-mounted operation scenario, the power transmission base was integrated in a vehicle seat and receiver embedded in a soldier-worn vest.
This demonstration highlighted that soldiers could charge multiple battery powered systems through the wireless power transfer system.
The BATLCHRG™ system, similar to BATLCHRG UX, has high power transfer rates and efficiency, a broad position tolerance accounting for the movement or misalignment of surfaces, and functionality in harsh environments. Galvion’s manned wireless charging capability is known as BATLCHRG MX.
