Previous power solutions provided basic support but lacked the capacity for extended missions, especially when powering critical signals intelligence and RF spectrum equipment. Additionally, their portable power supplies were often too heavy, affecting the team's mobility in the field.

After evaluating alternatives, the NSWC DDA selected Omni Power Stations for their portable, durable, and clean power solutions. Omnicharge provided a suite of Omni Power Stations, which introduced a higher capacity and a more streamlined solution for remote power needs. These devices also incorporated built-in inverters with clean energy output, critical for their signal-intensive equipment.

Teams at NSWC DDA began deploying Omni Power Stations across diverse applications and platforms, including aircraft, civilian vessels, and man-portable units. The Omni Power Stations replaced several outdated devices, reducing the overall weight and increasing operational efficiency. With a simpler and more intuitive interface, the new Power Stations enabled even non-technical operators to handle power management effortlessly.

The deployment of Omni Power Stations provided immediate benefits, including:

• Extended Power Duration: With the Omni Power Station, devices could operate for 9-12 hours, significantly reducing the frequency of battery swaps during missions.
• Enhanced Signal Integrity: The built-in inverter provided a clean power source that prevented signal interference, essential for accurate RF data collection.

• Mobility and Flexibility: The lightweight and portable Omni units allowed the team to carry fewer devices, decreasing their load and increasing their mobility.
• Field-Tested Durability: The Omni Power Stations have successfully supported field operations across varying climates and environments. NSWC DDA implemented standard procedures to ensure power supplies remain effective, even after long-term storage in extreme conditions.
