SWIPES™ system
The Soldier Worn Integrated Power Equipment System (S.W.I.P.E.S.) is an advanced power distribution system that is currently a Program of Record with the Army’s PM Soldier Power with over 7,500 units currently being used in theatre. Through the use of a cable management system contained inside an armor system or ruck, SWIPES utilizes a central hub to distribute power from commonly used military batteries through a trickle charge to most individually worn equipment. This allows for the most efficient use of power and decreases the weight a warfighter must carry by virtually eliminating the need to carry spare batteries.
System Highlights
- Battery Agnostic
- SWIPES™ can distribute power from most any of the commonly used power sources to include but not limited to:
- BA-5590
- BB-2590
- BA-8180
- LI-145
- CWB-150
- CWB-85
- SWIPES™ can distribute power from most any of the commonly used power sources to include but not limited to:
- Modular
- The SWIPES™ cable management system can be integrated into almost any armor system or ruck
- Extension cables allow the user to customize placement of equipment of vest while utilizing system
- Cable Management System allows for cabling to be managed inside the vest eliminating snag points
- Cables are provided with quick disconnect features and release with the vest
- Weight Reduction
- The entire SWIPES™ system weighs under 2 pounds and eliminates the need to carry spare batteries
- The entire SWIPES™ system weighs under 2 pounds and eliminates the need to carry spare batteries
- Energy Efficient
- When used with the 2.2 pound, 150wH Conformal Wearable Battery from Palladium Energy, SWIPES™ can provide power to all integrated equipment on an individual for 36 hours continuously or 24 hours continuously if transmitting data (see SWIPES II PD Page)

- Augments not Adds
- The SWIPES™ system simply augments the gear one already has; there is no need to add additional equipment or change one’s current system. SWIPES™ can power most individually worn equipment with little or no modification required and makes one’s current kit configuration and the warfighter themselves more efficient.
