Integrated Field Platforms

This platform line represents a purpose-built vehicle architecture designed for hybrid-electric operation, embedded mission compute, and tactical subsystem modularity. Mechanical integration is based on Oshkosh-supplied axle, suspension, and driveline components, validated for off-road endurance and system interoperability.

I. Mechanical Integration

The chassis is engineered to accept Oshkosh mechanical systems as native assemblies, maintaining all OEM geometry and performance characteristics:

• Suspension: TAK-4i™ independent suspension system with adaptive damping, 20” vertical articulation
• Axles: Heavy-duty Oshkosh 4x4 full-float axles with field-repairable CV integration
• Transfer case: Dual-range, lockable unit supporting power split across ICE and EV nodes
• Mounting: MIL-rated isolation brackets for all mechanical assemblies; no subframe modification required

Dynamic load simulations confirmed no structural deformation or drive path deviation under 95th percentile stress scenarios.

II. Powertrain Architecture

The powertrain combines Oshkosh driveline compatibility with a hybrid-electric propulsion package designed for variable-load deployment:

• Internal Combustion Engine: JP-8 compatible 2.7L turbocharged diesel, electronically controlled
• Electric Drive: Dual in-wheel axial-flux motors, sealed and thermally decoupled
• Energy Storage: 72kWh lithium-titanate battery with segmented BMS and thermal zoning
• Regenerative Capture: Torque-vector adjusted regen with multi-sensor strain input
• Power Conversion: Redundant dual-inverter system and isolated 12V/24V DC-DC rails

The system supports silent movement profiles up to 70 km and maintains traction across terrain states using torque-distribution logic.

III. Embedded Compute Systems

All platforms include a hardened, fault-tolerant compute module for sensor management, drive logic, diagnostics, and mission-state telemetry:

• Processor Core: 64-core ARMv9 cluster with dedicated AI inference unit
• Interfaces: Triple CAN-FD bus domains, redundant RS485, and dual Ethernet (GigE) channels
• Storage: 8TB NVMe array with ECC; firmware-locked NAND boot sectors
• Telemetry Backbone: Internal MQTT mesh with satellite and LoRaWAN fallback
• Control Features: Adaptive route logic, silent-mode health checks, predictive maintenance alerts

All runtime-critical systems are CRC-gated, with fault domains segmented by subsystem.

IV. Operator Control Interface

The cabin systems are designed for reduced cognitive load and high feedback clarity under sustained field operation:

• Displays: Dual 8.5” high-brightness transflective panels, glove-compatible, NVG-compliant
• Inputs: Tactile switchboards with analog fallback routing and sealed interface points
• Alerting: Multi-channel—visual, haptic, and acoustic with programmable escalation
• HVAC: Isolated thermal zones with dual-vent redundancy and particulate filtering
• Lighting: Interior spectrum control with external lux sensor linkage

Interface state is context-sensitive based on drive mode, terrain mapping, and fault prioritization.

V. Structural Envelope

All mechanical and electrical components were integrated with consideration to mass, serviceability, and operational clearance:

• Curb Weight: <6,000 kg
• Max Payload: 2,200 kg (modular distributed mounts)
• Component Isolation: Vibration-tested mounting on elastomer-damped trays
• Cooling Profile: >92% passive cooling under sustained 45°C ambient over 3-hour test cycle
• Access Paths: Tool-less swap for inverter, BMS, compute tray; <12 min average field service time

Full frame compliance with ISO-16750 and MIL-STD-810H vibration, shock, and thermal validation standards.

VI. Field Performance Summary (Q1 2025)

Early deployment metrics across varied terrain environments:

• Distance Logged: 18,647 km
• Silent Operation Usage: 29.3% of runtime
• Fuel Efficiency Delta: 32.8% improvement (vs diesel-only control)
• Fault Rate: 0.89 per 1,000 km (100% field-resolved)
• System Uptime: 98.7% across all units
• Operator Acceptance: Positive scoring on interface simplicity, control feedback, and fatigue mitigation

All telemetry logged and verified against system integrity baselines.

VII. System Interoperability + Safety

Subsystem coordination and redundancy logic were implemented with strict safety boundaries and validation protocols:

• Drive Coordination: ICE/EV arbitration governed by terrain mapping, torque slope, and thermal state
• Bus Segmentation: Multi-domain filtering with CAN message prioritization and replay protection
• Thermal Safeguards: Per-zone coolant control, maximum delta maintained under 10°C for all major components
• Diagnostics: Full error code namespace, hot-reload safe OTA reflash, and per-domain failover logic
• Software Certification: Aligned to ISO 26262 ASIL-B for safety-critical drive and power subsystems

All control firmware is compiled with static verification tools and deployed via signed binaries with rollback integrity checks.

A Message from Our Founder

When I dreamt up this idea, I dreamt of a powertrain I could just put into anything. Now that the powertrain and its systems are flushed out and ready, we've been having a lot of fun putting that powertrain in just about everything. The military market has been and always will be a great buyer. With such a great buyer out there who also takes a liking to my very ideas, I can safely say that we will have crazier things to come.
