Government & Defense
SPM designs and manufactures vehicle-mounted and modular expeditionary battery packs, electric drivetrains, and complete ground-up vehicles — built to your requirements and packaged into the space your platform already has.
One system SPM builds today — every program is sized to its own requirement
The problem
Radios, sensors, night vision, counter-UAS and electronic warfare payloads all draw continuous power. Today that means idling an engine or hauling a generator — an acoustic and thermal signature that can be heard and seen, and a fuel line that has to be resupplied and defended.
SPM removes both. We build high-voltage battery systems that mount to the vehicle you already operate and export clean power silently, at the voltages your equipment expects — with no engine running.
Capabilities
SPM covers the full range, from a battery pack integrated into an existing fleet vehicle to a clean-sheet vehicle designed around a mission profile.
01
High-voltage packs that mount to the platform for onboard export, or dismount and move with the team as a standalone expeditionary power source. One system, both roles — powering a command post, a sensor mast, or a maintenance point without a generator.
02
We design to the boundary you give us. Give us the space claim, mass budget, mounting interfaces and duty cycle, and we package the pack and drivetrain into it — rather than asking you to modify the vehicle to fit a catalogue part.
03
Replace the combustion drivetrain in a platform you already operate. Motor, inverter, battery, thermal management, controls and harness — designed, built and integrated as one system.
04
Clean-sheet chassis and suspension through to drivetrain, high-voltage architecture and vehicle electronics. When the mission does not fit an existing platform, we design the platform.
Configurations
Most programs start at the lowest-risk entry point and expand. These are approaches, not products — the figures shown are from systems we have built, and every one is redesigned around your platform, your envelope and your requirement.
01
Keep the vehicle exactly as it is — engine, drivetrain, range and logistics tail unchanged — and add a high-voltage pack for silent power export.
The lowest-risk way to add exportable power to a fielded fleet. No change to the powertrain, no retraining on how the vehicle drives, no new fuel requirement. Demonstrated on Polaris MRZR-class light tactical vehicles; pack capacity and export profile are set by how long you need to run and what you need to run.
Example build
02
Replace the combustion drivetrain in an existing platform with a complete SPM high-voltage electric powertrain.
Near-silent movement, instant torque, drastically reduced maintenance, and the full pack available for export when parked. Built on the architecture proven in SPM commercial kits, then resized — voltage, capacity and power — to the platform and duty cycle you specify.
Example build
03
A clean-sheet vehicle: chassis, suspension, drivetrain, high-voltage architecture and electronics, designed around the mission.
When the requirement does not map to an existing platform, SPM designs and builds the whole vehicle. Prototype through low-rate production, engineered and manufactured in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Example build
Reference system
The figures below describe one SPM high-voltage powertrain and pack — a system in production today on the commercial side of the business. They are here because they are real, measured numbers from hardware that exists and gets driven, rather than a datasheet for something notional.
They are not a specification we ask you to design around. Voltage, capacity, power, export profile, envelope and environmental rating are all set per program. If your requirement is already defined, we build to it. If it is still forming, we will help you define it.
Reference configuration — in production today
Set per program
Bring the mission profile rather than a spec sheet. We will work through the trades with you — capacity against mass, power against envelope, export against runtime — and tell you what we think is right before anyone writes a requirement document.
Engineering & manufacturing
SPM is a vertically integrated engineering shop. Packs, drivetrains, mounting structure and vehicle electronics are designed in-house, prototyped in-house, and built in-house — which is why we can commit to a custom envelope instead of quoting around a catalogue part.
The team is led by engineers out of high-volume EV production, and the hardware is validated on vehicles that are driven hard, not only on a bench.
Track record
The SPM team and the Alpha Prototype — Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
SPM has demonstrated vehicle-integrated silent power export to special operations forces on MRZR-class light tactical vehicles.
Presented alongside the defense mobility community, including TEVCON, with running prototype hardware rather than renderings.
Venture-backed specifically to accelerate dual-use military and civilian electric off-road powertrains.
Working with SPM
SPM is set up to work with government customers directly and through primes. If you need something below that is not yet listed, ask — it may already be in place.
Prototype and production work under other transaction authority, SBIR/STTR, and direct procurement.
Pack, drivetrain and integration work as a subsystem supplier on a larger vehicle program.
Hardware for test and evaluation ahead of a program of record decision.

Tell us the platform and the requirement — or just the mission profile, if the requirement is not written yet. Inquiries reach the SPM engineering and business development team directly, not a general inbox.
