Polar Power Inc (POLA)

Here is an interesting link to a video showing the 4 candidates for the Army's Squad Multi-purpose Equipment Transport (SMET) contract. POLA is teamed up with one of them, but they haven't said who (two of the candidates are listed as current/past customers on their IR presentation). I believe it's the 4th one shown in the video, HDT Global's Hunter Wolf system.

I say that because here is the specs on the vehicle. It includes a 20kW onboard generator for power production to recharge batteries:

It's a worthwhile contract to watch because the winner will get a monster of a contract----thousands of units. It will be announced sometime in 2019. They are being tested now and will eventually get whittled down to 2 systems for the next phase.
