Battery Chargers
Discover cutting-edge solutions from leading global suppliers
Quaze Technologies has commercially launched its QU6 wireless power solution, designed to simplify and accelerate the integration of autonomous charging capabilities into unmanned systems across various environments.
The QU6 is described as the first turnkey wireless power solution to market that provides an electronic architecture specifically built for this purpose. The technology was initially introduced to the defense sector at DSEI 2023, followed by extensive trials and proofs of concept that led to its commercial launch at AUSA 2025 in Washington DC.
The modular and robot-agnostic architecture of the QU6 enables seamless wireless power delivery across a diverse range of autonomous systems, including aerial drones, underwater vehicles, and ground robotics, making it ready for deployment at scale.
Quaze has confirmed that the QU6 is compatible with many of the widely used robotic platforms in defense for land, air, and sea operations, and its compatibility has also been proven on platforms from seven other leading defense robotics manufacturers.
The company states that the QU6 addresses a critical need in the autonomy ecosystem by providing the connection between unmanned systems and sustained, untethered energy delivery to any robot without human intervention. Beyond mobile platforms, the QU6 also facilitates the unmanned delivery of energy to remote sensors and battlefield infrastructure. By removing integration hurdles, the system is intended to accelerate time-to-field and unlock new operational capabilities and endurance for autonomous systems.
The launch is the result of years of collaboration with major defense OEMs, including Rheinmetall, L3Harris, Galvion, and Vatn Systems. These partnerships reportedly demonstrated the flexibility and simplicity of the QU6 architecture, which allows for rapid integration into unmanned platforms and offers reliable charging even in the most demanding conditions. The technology has been successfully trialed across all domains, including in extreme arctic conditions, prolonged underwater testing, and in austere high-temperature environments.
Xavier Bidaut, CEO of Quaze Technologies, said, “The QU6 technology pushes the boundaries of unmanned vehicle operations by providing wireless remote charging even in the harshest environments, eliminating the need for human intervention. It’s the fuel pump robotics has been waiting for, providing an infrastructure solution that enables autonomous systems to operate independently, anywhere.”
He added, “It’s the logistical answer to extending power from centralized sources that reach well into the dispersed battlespace. This creates autonomous charging stations that sustain all unmanned platforms, embedded sensor networks, and forward-deployed systems. This capability transforms how energy is distributed in contested or remote environments, making QU6 a critical enabler of sustained autonomy.”
