The automated and physically powerful environmental formula will enable the reliable transport of temperature-sensitive medical materials in austere environments.
OTTAWA, ONTARIO, CANADA, Jan. 29, 2024 /EINPresswire/ — Invicton Labs announced today that the company has secured an investment from the Department of National Defense (DND) to expand a device for transporting sensitive medical materials at extreme and austere temperatures. The investment comes from the Innovation for Defense, Excellence and Security (IDEaS) program, which is investing $1. 6 billion in defense and security inventions over 20 years.
The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the fragility of global medical supply chains. In fighting environments, with the addition of closed hospitals and mobile medical teams, such delays are unacceptable. It is imperative that the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) have the mandatory apparatus to deploy temperature-sensitive medical supplies, adding blood products and medicines, from Canada to the spaces of operations. As CAF rolls out around the world, transport aircraft will need to be able to maintain a constant internal temperature in ambient temperatures ranging from the Arctic to Earth’s deserts, while running on a self-contained battery with the ability to recharge from any international power source.
To solve those problems, Invicton is developing a device that automatically detects the contents placed there, determines the temperature diversity at which it should be maintained, and maintains that temperature in environments ranging from -50° to 50° CelsiusArray To ensure reliability and robustness in combat environments, the device achieves this with no moving parts to minimize the need for box arrangements. On the rare occasions when an on-site repair is required, the formula performs a self-diagnosis to identify any faults and allows for quick, out-of-the-box modular repairs.
The system also supports global cellular network connectivity with remote monitoring and control, allowing the location and status of the shipment to be monitored from CAF command centres anywhere in the world.
“This is our second assignment under the IDEaS program,” said Dr. Kyle Kotowick, CEO and founder of Invicton Labs. “Our first task, the ARMED system, scored the highest in the DND technical assessment and we hope to achieve this. back to the same achievement. We show that small Canadian corporations can compete on this point and demonstrate greater innovation than multinational defense contractors.
