The Spark modular support system is used for its flexibility, scalability, and cost-efficiency in a wide variety of applications, from edge computing, military operations, construction and humanitarian needs. Because a modular system is built from interchangeable parts, it can be customized, quickly deployed, and easily reconfigured for different needs. The exact benefits of the system depend on its application.

Disaster Zones

​​

​

For humanitarian and disaster relief efforts, a modular system offers life-sustaining resources that are mobile and deployable in remote locations. 

• Rapid deployment: Spark systems can be rapidly deployed and be operational within hours to provide water, power, and communications in remote or disaster-stricken areas.

• Multi-functional: A single Spark unit can provide clean, filtered water, solar power, and internet and phone service through satellite or cellular networks.

• Scalability: By using multiple units, the system can provide resources for a region of significant size and population.

• Durability: These systems are built with military-grade components to be rugged and durable, with a lifespan of 20 years with proper maintenance.

Remote Regions 

​

Many parts of the world lack infrastructure for residents to access clean water and/ or electricity. It is extremely costly and difficult to build and deploy traditional systems, particularly in these remote areas.

​​Spark provides the key elements to sustaining life in the modern world. Water, power and communications are combined in a simple, rugged and integrated package.

Modular Support System

​

Spark can provide a reliable, self-contained surveillance, communications and resupply platform for remote locations. A unit can be deployed with equipment, power generation, water filtration and communications gear all stowed within its numerous compartments. Modular building blocks allow storage and integration of many types of mission packs.

Sustainable Water Supply 

​

Much good work is certainly done by humanitarian, military and security organizations to address water scarcity. But spot fixes like digging wells or importing palettes upon palettes of water bottles are temporary band-aids that can’t scale to meet increasing demands.

​

In fact, they likely lead to more suffering. For example, when a village becomes dependent on a well that later becomes polluted, they have no other options. Aid-based import of bottled water will eventually end, leaving enormous plastic waste and a still-thirsty population behind.

​

Systems to this point have included disparate or separate technologies put together at a site in need—a pump, desalinization equipment, solar panels, or a diesel generator that needs fuel.

​

These approaches are simply inadequate for addressing the full scope of capabilities needed in challenging situations.

​

Instead, Spark brings these disparate technologies together into one system that is capable of cleaning water. That cleaning process needs power; it also needs communications to monitor the effects of the water filtration and to collect demographic information about how and when the water is being used.
