InScope Solutions proposes to develop an intelligent battery management system for the Marine Corps that is capable of fully autonomous maintenance, management, charging and testing of rechargeable batteries. Two derivatives of this system are proposed, one designed for maintenance only functions for use in storage facilities and one with bulk charging, testing and catastrophic battery fault handling capabilities suitable for ship-board or similarly vital environments. Both derivatives share a common system architecture as well as a commonality of electrical circuitry and software. The use of Artificial Intelligence algorithms within the battery management system eliminates the need for trained personnel to supervise battery charging, and dramatically reduces the manpower required to operate the system. Extensive data communications capabilities permits remote management of the system as well as generation of notification messages by the system should any fault be detected. Beyond these hardware systems, InScope Solutions proposes to create a battery database system to decrease the logistical issues associated with tracking and managing a large inventory of batteries, and to provide an extensive data analysis and reporting capability.
