Adaptive Materials, Inc. (AMI), a subsidiary of Ultra Electronics Holdings plc, is the leader in transformative power systems that enable new missions and new capabilities, and improve existing operations. AMI’s commercial solid oxide fuel cell technology provides the soldier with higher power over a greater length of time in a smaller, lighter package than batteries alone, or small electrical generators.

AMI’s fuel cells run on a range of hydrocarbon fuels, including lightweight and inexpensive propane. A key benefit and differentiator to AMI’s solid oxide approach is that its fuel cells enable users to locally source fuel anywhere in the world.

AMI develops, manufactures, and services integrated power systems for unmanned ground and aerial vehicles, battery chargers, and communication power supplies. The versatility of AMI’s fuel cells delivers rugged, proven and highly adaptable power to increase soldier effectiveness and efficiency.

With technology that supports hybrid power capabilities, AMI’s fuel cells can be used to recharge batteries on a variety of devices, including satellite communications, laptops, surveillance, and unmanned vehicles. The powerful combination of an extended battery life and a lightweight, portable fuel cell increases a soldier’s effectiveness on the field and supports long-duration missions that are impossible today.
