Energy & Power Configuration
Architecture and component trade studies built for SWaP-C: Size, Weight, Power, and Cost.
Independent mission based benchmarking for government R&D and procurement teams. Combustion, series and parallel hybrid, and electric architectures compared across mobile and stationary platforms on fuel consumption, payload, SWaP-C and total lifetime cost, including the power and energy demands of EW and other mission systems.
Electrified warfare is widening the market while adding more complexity across powertrains, onboard power, mission systems and operating cost. The Best-in-Class catalogue benchmarks each platform class against a defined mission, with every report paired with its own interactive interface.

Every benchmark and tailored study is produced in these four tools. Programme teams can also run them directly, on their own platforms and mission profiles.
Architecture and component trade studies built for SWaP-C: Size, Weight, Power, and Cost.
Deep physics powertrain sizing for mobility platforms, right sized to vehicle requirements.
Compare platforms to find the best mission outcome and TCO, across silent watch, mobility, export power, and payload.
Optimise and plan the full energy and power architecture of a Forward Operating Base, across mixed sources and loads.
A platform does not have independent numbers for range, payload, power and cost. They are connected.
Add mission equipment and electrical demand rises. Increase power generation and fuel use changes. Add battery capacity and weight increases. Increase weight and propulsion demand rises. Change the route, speed or environment and the balance moves again.
SWaP-C is a physics spiral: Size, Weight, Power and Cost, each pulling on the others.
What has to fit inside the platform.
What the platform must carry before useful payload is added.
What propulsion and mission systems demand throughout the mission.
What the architecture consumes, requires and costs to operate.
PowerSize solves that chain across the complete mission. This allows conventional, hybrid and electric architectures to be compared on the same basis.

A language model predicts plausible text. It does not solve equations. Powertrain behaviour is coupled physics: engine efficiency maps, battery state of charge, thermal limits, drag, rolling resistance and the duty cycle the platform actually runs, integrated over the route step by step. Ask a language model for a vehicle's fuel consumption over a mission and it returns a confident number that looks right and is not.
Benchmarking lives or dies on that accuracy. A fuel estimate that is 50% off is the difference between a platform that completes its mission and one that strands a crew short of the objective. PowerSize runs a validated physics solver: the numbers come from simulation measured against real-world data, not from a model's best impression of an answer. AI helps you interrogate the analysis. The solver produces the evidence.
