Earlier today, Oakridge Global Energy Solutions, Inc.
(OTCQB: OGES) announced the promising results from Maritime Tactical Systems,
Inc.’s (MARTAC) recently conducted field trials of its Man-Portable Tactical
Autonomous Systems (MANTAS). According to the release, the trials, which were
held on January 25-28 in the Indian River in Palm Bay, Florida, were a major
success, utilizing several different sizes of MARTAC’s versatile high speed
maritime vessels and leaving all participants exceptionally pleased. This
result is particularly favorable for Oakridge, as the company designed and
produced custom batteries to fit the specific requirements of the MANTAS
platforms as they are implemented in a wide variety of critical applications –
including naval fleet protection, mine warfare, port and harbor security
protocol, anti-piracy, and search and rescue.
“The custom battery design for MARTAC was quite challenging
while at the same time exciting for our team,” Steve Barber, executive chairman
and chief executive officer of Oakridge, stated in the news release. “We are
pleased to have been a part of this huge success for the MARTAC team and look
forward to working with them as we both move forward.”
Oakridge previously announced its supplier agreement with
MARTAC in early January, just two days after entering into the full-scale
production phase of its corporate restructuring efforts. After reviewing the
applications and specifications of MARTAC’s innovative vehicle, the company’s
engineering team immediately started development efforts for a customized
stored energy solution that strengthened the marketability and performance of
the MANTAS platforms.
“We were ecstatic with the custom Oakridge Energy Units
designed for and utilized on the MANTAS platforms,” Bruce Hanson, president and
chief executive officer of MARTAC, added. “Oakridge stepped up to the plate and
knocked it out of the park. They have greatly expanded the effective range of
the MANTAS while at the same time providing us a much safer vessel that can be
utilized in many environments where present energy technology is not allowed
due to safety concerns.”
Following this demonstration of the quality and
effectiveness of Oakridge’s lithium ion technologies, the company is in a
favorable position to achieve the rapid growth forecast by its management team
earlier this year. By exceeding the expectations of clients in key niche market
segments, Oakridge aims to quickly realize its goal of ushering in “a new era
in battery manufacturing” by offering a high quality, domestically-manufactured
alternative to inferior lithium ion chemistries and stored energy solutions
produced throughout Asia.
