The collaboration showcases electrifying
military land vehicles, delivering improved performance, and decarbonising
military operations according to the companies.
Using accessible collaboration technologies, the firms created two fully interactive and immersive virtual reality (VR) simulations of HUMVEE vehicles. The models depict how QinetiQ’s electric drive technology will be combined into the vehicle with minimal disruption.
QinetiQ chief technology officer Mike Sewart
said: “Advances in hybrid electric drive systems specifically for military
vehicles mean there is now a credible alternative to conventional mechanical
designs, revolutionising the way armed forces move and operate on the
battlefield while reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
The JV & Partnering (JV&P) Advisory
team at global investment bank Lincoln International facilitates the
development.
