QinetiQ North America's Q-Gen 2.0 Selected by U.S. Marine Corps for One Man-Portable Generator Program
Q-Gen 2.0 is a lightweight, one man portable power solution that can easily support military missions in remote, hostile or austere environments.
Reston, VA- QinetiQ North America (QNA) today announced that the U.S. Marine Corps has selected Q-Gen™ 2.0, the newest version of QNA's 1kW, JP-8 fuel compatible, one-man portable generator, for further evaluation during the Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) phase of the One Man-Portable Generator (1MPG) program.
"Our warfighters can't afford delays in their power-supplied systems on the battlefield or in remote, hostile environments," said QNA Technology Solutions Group President J.D. Crouch. "Q-Gen provides a reliable source of portable power that weighs less than forty pounds."
Q-Gen 2.0 is a lightweight, one man portable power solution that can easily support military missions in remote, hostile or austere environments. It has been proven to continuously operate on heavy fuels such as JP-8 and Jet A in a wide variety of operational conditions and ambient environments. Q-Gen 2.0 does not require an accelerant to start or operate on heavy fuels, and it automatically adjusts air flow and engine temperature in response to fluctuations in the environment or applied load.
Q-Gen 2.0 features significantly improved batteries and a more efficient vaporizer to enhance reliability and performance. This versatile power management system can support the mission needs of any military team requiring a readily available source of expeditionary power. Operating on JP-8 fuel, Q-Gen 2.0 provides 900W of continuous power for over three hours on a single tank of fuel and can be connected to other Q-Gen units to provide efficient and scalable energy solutions.
Operating as the U.S. component of QinetiQ Group plc's Global Products division, QNA's Technology Solutions Group is a world leader in technology solutions that save lives in defense, security and commercial environments.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
