Alpine 4 2021 Acquisitions with High Growth Potential

Vayu Aerospace: Redefining Drone Innovation

  • Electrification of flight: The incorporation of ElecJet's AX-02 solid state batteries in to our G1 and US-2 airframes has already begun to transform how drones will be able to operate in our society. With Vayu receiving strong RFQ's for use cases in rail, freight, and surveillance, our customers are seeking solutions that need: longer flight duration, faster charging times (under 15 min) and airframes that can ensure safe flight in in urban areas. Vayu Aerospace is leading its peers with cutting edge airframes, avionics hardware, autonomous flight software and solid-state power systems. The company is currently capable of producing ten G1 airframes per month but can expand rapidly to thirty per month with minimal tooling expense.

Identified Technologies: High Resolution 3D Mapping and Software Analysis

  • Identified's Hardware/software stack is based on 3D mapping and provides volumetrics, orthomosaics, with build vs as planned comparisons, as well as progress and cost forecasting analysis.

RCA Commercial:

  • RCAs rich history of innovative problem solving is the catalyst behind the full line of RCA commercial technologies that are designed to meet the unique needs of the lodging, healthcare, education, and other commercial markets, now and in the future. RCA's joint venture with ElecJet has opened the door for expansion of its product line to include Energy Storage Systems such as Powerwalls, Power Generators and Powerbanks.

ElecJet: The Future of Lithium Graphene Enhanced Batteries and Solid-State Batteries

  • A 1/2 GW Solid State Battery Factory is planned for the United States, with the ability to expand to 5 GWs as demand increases.:
  • At a 1/2 GW, ElecJet will be able to generate up to 4,500,000 million AX Class Solid State Batteries per year.
  • At 5 GW, ElecJet will be able to generate up to 45,000,000 million AX Class Solid State Batteries per year.
  • The AX 31Ah Class of Batteries are Ceramic Oxide Solid State Batteries that are designed for energy dense applications that need a powerful battery solution.
    • The AX31Ah Battery Class has three subclasses, the AX-01, AX-02, and the GAX, with operating specifications of up to 4C charging. At a 4C rate of charge, the AX Class can charge in just over 15-minutes from 0% to 100%. Typical traditional liquid batteries charge between 1C, which equates to 1 hour and 2 hours at .5C.
    • The AX31Ah Class can also retain 80% of its capacity for over 2400 charging cycles. The AX Class was designed to be incorporated into a battery stack solution perfect for Powerwall, smaller ESS solutions, golf carts, and EV vehicles.
    • The AX 31-Class has energy densities between 600Wh/L and 700Wh/L, depending on the type of cell. Normal energy densities of current battery technology 200Wh/kg.
