PHILADELPHIA, PA--(Marketwire - 05/18/11) - Early production stage hydrogen generation company AlumiFuel Power, Inc., the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based wholly owned operating subsidiary of AlumiFuel Power Corporation (OTC.BB:AFPW - News), (the "Company"), announced today that in conjunction with its portable power partner and prime contractor, Ingenium Technologies of Rockford, Illinois, it has developed a system that can generate hydrogen for fueling UUVs using its proprietary AlumiFuel powders.
In June, 2010, the Ingenium-API team was awarded a U.S. Navy R&D contract for a novel new hydrogen fuel delivery system to power future fuel cell driven UUVs, with Ingenium as the prime contractor. The technology embodied in the Ingenium-API team is well suited for two major new-start multi-million dollar programs that the Navy intends to award this year as it seeks new operational UUV power sources other than batteries. The first is for a long endurance 21" UUV propulsion system, and the second is for a larger 54" UUV platform.
The overall global UUV market is expected to reach $12 billion over the next decade, encompassing commercial, naval and other national security applications. This number includes $1.2 billion for the power systems, with $400-$500 million related to the fuel modules. API and Ingenium are exploring a growing number of opportunities involving naval and commercial power plant applications with the US Navy, allied navies, major defense contractors, and deepwater services industry players worldwide.
API's Director of Engineering, Mr. Sean McIntosh, said, "We set a lot of very ambitious goals for ourselves in our recent undersea fuel source development programs and are very proud that we have accomplished all of these goals. Together with Ingenium we have made tremendous strides in developing components for a UUV power source which will allow us to aggressively pursue global commercial and military undersea vehicle opportunities."
