Chariot Defense Lands $7.6 Million Pentagon Contract for Power Grid

Modern warfare requires a sophisticated power infrastructure to support electronic warfare kits and compute-heavy equipment. Legacy generators often compromise unit safety by emitting high acoustic and thermal signatures. The Amphora system functions as a bi-directional intelligent controller, integrating with existing vehicle fleets, solar arrays, and tactical generators to reduce fuel consumption by as much as 60 percent.

Founder and CEO Adam Warmoth, a former lead at Anduril Industries, noted that current energy constraints force commanders to make difficult choices regarding which mission-critical systems remain powered. By optimizing energy usage, the technology extends silent operations for up to 36 hours. The startup, which has secured $41 million in venture funding led by Andreessen Horowitz, emphasizes that its hardware is fully compliant with NDAA and BAA standards to ensure a secure supply chain free from restricted components.
