Quebec, Canada. 03 April 2025. Quaze Technologies builds solutions to recharge any robot anywhere without human intervention and is the creator of wide-surface wireless power transfer (WPT), specifically optimized for use in remote and challenging environments. Quaze has recently taken part in the Arctic Warrior Experiment (AWE) 2025,
a Norwegian Special Operations Command (NORSOCOM) arena to test cold-weather equipment capabilities in rugged terrain and arctic conditions. In 2025 NORSOCOM teamed up with United States
Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) in an arctic technical experimentation in Norway to stress test
a range of capabilities.
As part of the capability demonstration, Quaze’s Surface Power Technology, with its magnetic resonance capabilities, was assessed in extreme arctic conditions to provide continuous wireless recharging to a range of deployed equipment. The adaptability of the technology was tested to the full, with Quaze and their partners Galvion being required to rapidly integrate the WPT systems to recharge ‘on-the-soldier’ systems on BRP Lynx snowmobiles and Zeal Motor FAT trucks off‑road utility vehicle. The Galvion BATLCHRG™ wireless charging capability was integrated into each vehicle demonstrating that soldiers can charge multiple battery powered systems through safe for human wireless power transfer. There was also a successful demonstration of continuous remote drone charging over 3 days as part of AWE.
The robust wireless solution utilizes a charging foldable light surface and receiver configuration that has excellent resiliency and power transfer rates. Quaze’s wide surface power transfer eliminates the requirement for precise alignment and successfully charges any robot in any conditions, proving it can operate efficiently with over 10cm of snow, or other debris, covering the surface.
The Quaze technology was demonstrated in other different applications, which are at an early concept stage and have yet to be launched as products. In all applications tested, the technology proved to be reliable and robust in such a harsh environment. The demonstrations conducted all performed beyond expectations proving that the technology can be used on the battlefield utilizing extreme conditions for tactical advantage, such as concealing equipment beneath debris such as snow, sand, water or soil without impairing charging performance. Coupled with the possibility to charge multiple systems simultaneously and wirelessly, Quaze is set to mark a significant leap in operational efficiency and endurance.
Xavier Bidaut, CEO of Quaze Technologies said, “Quaze continues to be at the forefront of the defence industry’s push towards untethered, cable-free power solutions. The AWE opportunity in Norway enabled us to showcase our unparalleled autonomous operational wireless charging solutions in the most extreme environments. As we look ahead to where this technology might be of future use across land, sea and air domains, we are excited to explore the endless options. We are delighted to continue to push the boundaries of our technology alongside our partners”.
