The Vanguard demonstrates how hydrogen technology enables high-performance, mission-ready platforms without compromising on stealth or endurance. Outfitted with the Z-Class Propulsion System in place of a conventional big-block V-8 gasoline engine, the vessel achieves comparable output while delivering near-silent, low-signature operation critical for maneuvering through sensor-rich environments. This upgrade enhances range and operational flexibility beyond battery-only alternatives, supporting emerging defense priorities for low-detectability mobility at the edge of the battlefield.

Designed to operate in environments saturated with autonomous surveillance systems—drones, sensor networks, and AI-driven threat detection—it delivers ultra-quiet, low-thermal-signature power, enabling vehicles and equipment to move undetected. Power generation at the edge solves tactical and operation energy requirements in even the most austere environments. Z-class is the ideal choice for special operations, reconnaissance missions, or any scenario demanding silent mobility and deep-field energy independence where exposure could mean mission failure.

Engineered for austere forward-operating environments, FTcase delivers modular, transportable fueling capability without the need for fixed infrastructure—solving one of the most critical challenges in operational energy: access. By providing a solution for hydrogen supply at the tactical edge, the FTcase successfully fueled Honda Racing Corporation's hydrogen fuel cell vehicle at the 103rd annual Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.
