THE POWERED RAIL

The Powered Rail is a revolutionary Patented powered rail system for the M4 Carbine and AR-15 based weapon platforms. It improves the warfighter’s weapons with a centralized power source for all mounted weapon accessories.

Currently, warfighters face some challenges with the accessories for their weapons. They require different batteries for each accessory, have to carry up to 30 batteries for each mission, have no way to gauge the remaining charge on each battery and have to deal with multiple switches and adjustment controls. This results in heavy loads, inefficiency and operational delays which can endanger the soldiers’ lives.

THE POWERED RAIL IMPROVES SOLDIER WEAPONS IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:

• Standardizes Batteries – Simplifies battery management
• Reduces Batteries Required – Lightens mission load
• Improves Weapon Balance – Optimize weapon handling, increase lethality
• Battery “Charge Meter” – Save costs by reducing waste
• Centralizes Controls – Efficient utilization of weapon accessories
• Future proofing – Opportunity for more powerful accessories with more functionalities
