Alternate Power Unit

- Military-Grade Durability
- J1939 & K-Line Interfaces
- FreeRTOS with GUI
- Engine Speed Control
Overview
A Nuvation Engineering client in the defense industry was looking to redesign an alternate power unit for heavy military vehicle applications. We delivered a robust design to combat extreme temperatures, vibration, short circuits, transients, and other stresses the board was expected to endure.
