Intelligent Energy has launched its latest product, the Power Path Module (PPM), which allows customers to double the power output from Intelligent Energy’s UAS Fuel Cell Power Modules (FCPMs).

A small unit designed to facilitate ‘plug and play,’ linking two of Intelligent Energy’s FCPMs in series, the PPM gives customers the ability to fly larger UAS with heavier payloads.

Intelligent Energy says that with the PPM connecting the FCPMs in series, two 650 watt modules will provide 1.3 kilowatts of continuous power, and two 800 watt modules will provide 1.6 kilowatts.

“We already have the lightest and most power dense fuel cells available on the market and we continue to innovate to ensure we are leading the way in fuel cell power for commercial UAVs,” says Lee Juby, chief sales officer at Intelligent Energy.

“This small PPM unit will enable our customers to use our modules on larger UAVs, carry a heavier payload and it can easily be affixed to a UAV.”

Designed in accordance with CE and FCC certification requirements, the PPM is being launched at Japan Drone, Chiba-City, near Tokyo, from March 13 to 15. The PPM will also be showcased during Xponential 2019 in Chicago from April 29 to May 2.
