Protecting the health of the UK armed forces is crucial and The Defence Medical Services (DMS) 'has an annual budget of circa £500m'. There are many different types of battery powered technology that can assist military personnel in a medical capacity – on, above and outside the battlefield. All of these have different power requirements and getting the power right is essential when a soldier’s livelihood, during or after service, relies on it.
In conjunction with other NATO countries, the U.S. government is supplying a wealth of electronic devices to help allied forces overseas. As these devices are being used in different countries, it is important to ensure that all of the components accompanying them (including the battery) are suitable for use in different environmental conditions, yet still durable enough for a conflict zone. U.S. battery manufacturer, Ultralife Corporation, produces a range of leading military batteries that meet these requirements.
For military devices used by the Ministry of Defence, it is geo-politically safer to have components manufactured in the UK, right down to the power source. As a UK battery designer and manufacturer, Accutronics are ideally placed to supply batteries for devices used by the armed forces, such as covert airfield-landing lights, oxygen concentrators, bomb disposal robotics and drones.
