The article focuses on the high specific-power (>300 w/kg) and light-weight (~82g in 25W+ module) that allows Ascent's HyperLight technology to help address an increasingly important problem in the Space race today, how to add more payload and onboard power without significantly increasing the mass needed to help launch Agency and, increasingly, private sector spacecraft successfully into orbit

Ascent is pleased to announce we have been selected for participation in US Special Operation Command's (USSOCOM) Technical Experimentation (TE) 21-3, coming up on July 27-29, 2021, at the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center (MUTC) in Muscatatuck, IN. SOCOM customarily conducts TE's to provide an opportunity for technology developers to interact with Special Operations personnel to allow them to understand how they can support or enhance Special Operations Forces (SOF) capability needs. The focus of TE 21-3 is to highlight Sense-Through-The-Wall (STTW) technologies. These technologies are used determine whether a structure is occupied and enable situational awareness of known and unknown personnel. Ascent's lightweight, rugged CIGS PV technology can help provide expeditionary/mobile power for these STTW systems -- which can be vehicle-mounted, Unmanned Ground Vehicle-mounted, Unmanned Aerial System-mounted, tripod-mounted, or handheld -- providing our warfighters with a critical advantage on the battlefield.
