Hydroplane Exhibiting Hydrogen-Electric Aviation and Mobile Power Systems at AUSA Global Force as Part of Army Fuze Exhibit
Huntsville, AL (March 24, 2026) — Hydroplane is exhibiting its aviation propulsion and mobile power generation capabilities as part of the Army Fuze Exhibit at the U.S. Army Innovator’s Corner, Booth 1810, South Hall (near registration), during AUSA Global Force in Huntsville, Alabama.
At the event, Hydroplane is showcasing its hydrogen fuel cell electric propulsion systems designed for aviation applications, alongside its mobile hydrogen-based power generation solutions. These technologies are engineered to support energy resilience, reduce logistical burden, and enable high-efficiency electric propulsion for next-generation Army platforms, including helicopters and autonomous cargo systems.
Hydroplane’s hydrogen-electric systems combine fuel cells with advanced electric motor architectures to deliver quiet, low-signature operation while maintaining high performance and operational flexibility. The reduced acoustic and thermal footprint enhances mission effectiveness in contested and sensitive environments.
Attendees can meet Hydroplane’s CEO and Head of Systems Engineering at Booth 1810 to learn more about the company’s ongoing work with the U.S. Army, including its progress under the xTech and SBIR programs, and how its technologies are being developed for rapid transition to operational use.
“Hydroplane is honored to be here at AUSA Global Force as part of the Army Fuze Exhibit and to engage directly with Army leadership and the defense innovation community,” said Dr. Anita Sengupta, Founder and CEO of Hydroplane. “This platform demonstrates how small business innovation can accelerate the deployment of advanced, cost-effective technologies that enhance energy resilience and mission capability for the warfighter.”
Hydroplane’s presence at AUSA Global Force reflects its continued focus on delivering scalable hydrogen-electric solutions aligned with the Army’s priorities for performance, sustainability, and operational readiness.
