MAPS awarded €100K from NATO to advance microgrid technology for disaster and conflict recovery

TORONTO — McGuire Aero Propulsion Solutions Inc. (MAPS) received a €100K grant award secured through NATO’s Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA) Energy Resilience Challenge. As part of this award, MAPS will join the DIANA accelerator programme.

This funding will support MAPS’ demonstrator development, accelerating the commercialization of primary-power-generation equipment to provide scalable on-site electrical service that is inherently reliable, resilient, modular, and configurable which uses sustainable sources. This modular power generation equipment will be integrated into a microgrid solution by MAPS in a self-contained package with the form factor of a shipping container.

“MAPS is honoured to be part of the select cohort joining the NATO DIANA accelerator programme. Leveraging access to accelerator sites and test centres across the Alliance to certify and demonstrate our technology’s capacity to deliver under the most demanding defence sector standards will further showcase to our future customer base that we provide the rugged, dependable, and breakthrough performance they require,” said Daniel McGuire, CEO & Founder of MAPS. “The DIANA challenge sought solutions to address two sets of disruptive capabilities and MAPS’ solution tackles both. This emphasizes both the need for MAPS’ technology and its broad applicability to system level solutions.”
