Operational Energy

A cornerstone of our mission is Operational Energy - the quantifiable energy required to train, move, and sustain a force. CANA solutions bridge the gap between the conceptual data and reality.

CANA specializes in enhancing energy resilience and security for the warfighter, modeling the integration of sustainable, alternate fuel sources and localized power generation. This ensures mission-critical platforms—from unmanned systems (UxS) to distributed formations—maintain the competitive edge.

By diversifying energy inputs and streamlining consumption at the tactical edge, CANA empowers commanders to extend mission persistence, reduce vulnerability, and project power.

CANA connect clients and stakeholders with commercial technology, military operations, and supporting infrastructure through expertise, research and development, and project management.

We pioneer bidirectional energy solutions that supercharge Joint Force capabilities, weapon system readiness, and operational endurance at the tactical edge.

Functional Expertise

Resilient optimization is our strategic backbone. The Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific (NIWC), Naval Research Lab, SoCal Tech Bridge, DANNAR Inc., Adams Communication Engineering and Technology, and Georgia Institute of Technology, are just some of the partners and clients with whom CANA has created results, opportunities, and imagined future trajectories that advance the operational energy mission.

Expeditionary Power

We engineer tactical microgrids and mobile operational energy solutions that redefine battlefield self-sufficiency. By integrating AI-enabled systems, exportable power storage, and 5G infrastructure, CANA delivers cutting-edge energy architectures that maximize mission endurance.

Solutions are custom-architected for peak performance, whether deployed on-server or on-device, converting raw data into tactical advantages. We track, model, and analyze real-time metrics, ensuring edge systems maintain peak performance and grid stability.

Iterative experimentation allows us to shrink footprints, accelerate energy regeneration, and empower commanders to project mission-tailored effects.

Electric Mobility

CANA transforms tactical electric vehicles (EV) from simple transport assets into mobile, strategic power nodes. By analyzing and modeling EV integration into Tactical Microgrid Standard compliant grids, we pioneer bidirectional energy solutions.

We stress test and predict tactical EV range and limitations under brutal, real-world constraints. Our predictive tools simulate the impacts of weather, terrain, and high-speed combat profiles, ensuring commanders can deploy electric mobility assets with operational certainty.

CANA's experimentation and analysis with the eTHOR tactical EV modeled how full-spectrum, alternative fuel energy architectures eliminate fuel-line dependencies, drive mission success, and sustain long-term distributed operations.

Platform Systems

CANA is pioneering "last-mile" energy transfer by researching and analyzing Laser Power Beaming (LPB) through a platform's existing directed energy weapon systems. This technology transforms combat platforms into mobile power-beaming hubs, extending time-on-station for edge assets and expanding lethal reach.

We integrate cutting-edge mobile operational energy storage directly into next-gen platform systems and uncrewed systems. Pairing host structures with novel and resilient power sources, we fuse mobility, firepower, and communications into an energy-independent node capable of sustained operations.

CANA stress-tests and optimizes energy distribution architectures across complex platform systems.
