Galvion has received a number of orders from the United States Marine Corps (USMC) for its Nerv CentrĀ® power and data products.

Galvion has received orders for 5000 SoloPackā„¢ II lithium-ion rechargeable batteries and a $1.5M order for additional ancillary cables to further support the USMCā€™s in-service Portable Power Scavenger Systems (P2S2).

The SoloPack II batteries ordered will support the USMCā€™s Fire support and coordination systems using portable, handheld devices to employ supporting arms in consonance with maneuver elements used by Marines. Galvionā€™s original 98Wh SoloPack batteries were included in kits when fielded in 2018. This new order for 5000 SoloPack II will provide more power to better sustain these critical systems. Small, lightweight and energy-dense, the SoloPack II offers 140Wh of energy (40% more power storage capacity than the original SoloPack), while maintaining the familiar, compact form factor users expect from the Nerv Centr suite of products. SoloPack II fits into a magazine pouch for ease of storage and weighs only 1.65lbs (750 grams).

In December 2022, Galvion announced an order valued at $11 million to supply a customized Squad Power Manager (SPM) kit to each Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) within the Marine Corps, including Reserve Forces. The USMCā€™s Portable Power Scavenger System (P2S2) kits include Galvionā€™s SPM and a selection of cables, connectors and accessories that provide the ability to scavenge, distribute, and manage power from multiple power sources including solar, Alternating Current (AC), Direct Current (DC), military batteries, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) plugs, and vehicle cigarette lighter/alternator attachments. The SPM kit can scavenge power from partially discharged batteries, vehicles, and standard electrical outlets and convert that power into a usable format for powering devices and recharging batteries. The recent order received for additional ancillary cables will extend and further enhance the functionality of the USMCā€™s in-service P2S2 kits. 

Todd Stirtzinger, Galvion CEO, said; ā€œThe United States Marines are some of the worldā€™s toughest warfighters, and weā€™re incredibly proud to supply them with equipment that supports their missions. The power supply and management solutions that we provide contribute to a reduction in physical and logistical burden by sustaining power for longer with less weight.ā€

He continued; ā€œThe fact that these orders extend and enhance capabilities that Galvion has already supplied to Marines is an example of our commitment to responding to the ever-changing needs of our customers. Weā€™re seeing a number of repeat orders from partners across the globe, which means weā€™re doing something right; this latest round of orders from the USMC is a proud moment for our whole team.ā€
