Defence

As military organisations around the world pursue the vision of the 'digital battlefield', the increasing demand on portable energy to power the vast array of sophisticated equipment required to achieve it, must be considered as a source of strategic military advantage. At the same time, pressure on infantries to reduce battery-related costs is placing portable power high up on the defence agenda.

In the pursuit of more energy, AGM's Lithium-ion cell solutions offer the military sector a viable alternative to costly primary (throw away) cell chemistries. The UK MoD has already chosen AGM’s Lithium-ion as its chemistry of choice for its new BOWMAN battlefield communications system. Now, other ministries of defence across the world are looking to Lithium-ion as a reliable and high performance alternative to traditional rechargeable battery (mainly nickel-based) chemistries as an economic alternative to the costly primary batteries currently used in operations today.

AGM's cells are currently powering devices such as Manpack VHF and HF radios, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), encryption devices, and ruggedised computers.
