Jadoo Power Receives Military Contract for Aeromedical Rescue and Transport
The U.S. Department of Defense has awarded Jadoo Power a contract to produce an aeromedical rescue and transport power system. The power system uses fuel cell technology to drive the emergency medical equipment onboard a military evacuation and transport aircraft to maximize rescue efficiency and minimize risk to soldiers.
The award accelerates the development of the 100 Watt Portable Electric Power Supply for Aeromedical Evacuation, also known as the PEPSAE. Jadoo Power received an award in early 2008 and produced the initial PEPSAE prototype based on specifications for a 400 Watt power system. The new PEPSAE is a small, lightweight and low profile hybrid fuel cell power engine that could mount directly on a transport stretcher along with the critical portable medical equipment. The newer, lighter PEPSAE reduces system weight and provides an overall increase in mission efficiency.
