Hydrogen System-of-systems for Company, Squad, and Individual Marine Infantry
Amount: $74,998 Topic: N234-P01
With a hydrogen system-of-systems comprised of multiple mature commercial products, Mach Industries (formerly Trident Industries)Āwill address several operational energy challenges faced by Marine Corps infantry at the company level and below. We will eliminate infantryÆs reliance on contested petroleum fuel logistics and instead enable a more resilient, distributed logistics system that produces operational energy from locally-sourced materials. We will reduce the signature of combat operation centers by 74% and dismounted infantryÆs battery weight burden by 67%. This program takes a systems-level approach to the infantry operational energy challenge by integrating multiple mature technologies. By addressing several critical infantry power needs. This innovation reduces dependence on contested petroleum fuel logistics, noisy diesel generators, and heavy batteries. This program will benefit Marine Corps infantry at the company, squad, and individual levels, providing them with a decisive edge in contested environments.

Tactical Fuel Production System for ACE Support Systems
Amount: $109,938 Topic: AFX23E-TPCSO1
Mach and UT Austin will design a highly-compact linear gas compression system for multiple Air Force applications. We will integrate this compact linear gas compressor with MachÆs ōPrometheusö tactical hydrogen generation system to enable unique ACE capabilities. ?Electric power generation for aviation ground support and contingency bases ?Hydrogen fueling of long-range UAVs, with 1000+ mile range ?Hydrogen fueling of long-range eVTOL aircraft, with 1000 lbs payload capacity and 400 mile rangeĀ ?Air Force / DOE atmospheric nuclear blast residue monitoring, using compact air compression Mach Industries and UT Austin will reduce the size of gas compression by 94% and the weight by 67%, at a design cost of 5x to 9x the power consumption, compared to traditional pneumatic compressors. This enables mobile, compact production of compressed hydrogen fuel for Air Force contested logistics and distributed warfare.

Hydrogen-fueled Force Sustainment: Clean Water and Electric Power
Amount: $1,247,984 Topic: AFX244-DPCSO1
Mach Industries, a hydrogen and defense startup, has been developing Prometheus for the past year. Prometheus is an activated aluminum hydrogen generator designed to sustain civilian populations in austere environments. As currently designed, Prometheus intentionally minimizes distillation of coolant water, to reduce the overall burden of transporting locally-sourced water. For this Phase II, we will modify the cooling system to maximize water distillation, resulting in a versatile asset that can sustain warfighters with both power and potable water in contested logistics environments or in expeditionary bases.

GPS/GNSS-Denied Navigation for Mach Industries’ Glide
Amount: $73,450 Topic: AFX245-PCSO1
This effort seeks to develop a comprehensive analysis of various navigation technologies designed for use in environments where GPS/GNSS signals are unavailable, with a particular focus on their integration into small aircraft deployed from high-altitude balloons. The technologies examined include Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), which leverage accelerometers and gyroscopes for tracking movement without the need for external references; Vision-Based Navigation, which uses cameras and computer vision to identify landmarks and features; and radar technologies like Lidar and Radar for environmental mapping and obstacle detection. Additionally, Celestial Navigation, which determines position based on celestial bodies, is reviewed as a traditional yet effective method under certain conditions. The research will further explore the specific challenges associated with implementing these technologies in small aircraft, such as constraints on size and weight that limit the onboard equipment, the significant power requirements of sophisticated navigation systems, and the complexities involved in integrating new technologies with existing avionics and control systems. By addressing these challenges, the study aims to contribute to the development of effective, autonomous navigation solutions for small aircraft operating in GPS-denied environments.
