Powering Homeland Security with Energy-Resilient Mobile Nanogrids—No Fuel Supply Chain Required.
Sesame Solar Mobile Nanogrids help secure borders with energy-resilient Solutions designed for off-grid use in austere environments.
Sesame Solar designs and manufactures rapidly deployable Nanogrids to power Homeland Security and Border Protection operations. Functioning as a mobile, energy independent power station, Sesame Nanogrids enable Homeland Security to extend their range of operations with less manpower, especially in supply-constrained environments, and increase security against foreign and domestic threats.
Rapid Deployment
Set up by 1 person in under 15 minutes with no fuel logistics needed. Easily transported on land, sea and air.
Self-Generating Power
Our Nanogrids create their own power using solar + hydrogen + battery storage in a continuous loop that works 24/7. Nanogrids power surveillance equipment, satellite comms, edge computing and keep UAS flying for hours with battery swapping/induction charging, and/or hydrogen refueling.
Made in the USA
TRL 9 validation and designed, manufactured and assembled in the USA to meet rigorous standards. Ensures supply chain security. Easily transported by land, sea or air. Low thermal and heat signatures reduce detection.
Energy Resilience for Long-Term Off-Grid Operations
- Self-Generating Power: solar + green hydrogen + battery storage provides a closed-loop of reliable, independent power for weeks of autonomous, off-grid operations
- Supply Chain Resilience: Fuel-free operations eliminates vulnerabilities tied to fuel convoys and contested supply chains.
- Durable in Austere Conditions: Operates under extreme environmental conditions, from polar to desert climates and severe weather conditions. Resistant to infrastructure attacks.
- Self-Generating Water: Atmospheric Water Generation extracts water from humidity in the air, producing clean water for drinking and powering fuel cells.
- Reduced Energy Vulnerabilities: Dependence on local energy grids creates national security concerns due to potential exploitation of aging infrastructure for conflict and destabilization.
Security Across Long and Remote Borders with Less Manpower
- Unmanned Operations: Unmanned Perimeter Security Nanogrids operate with limited manpower through remote software.
- Preparedness for Conflicted Logistics:
- Rapid Deployment: One-person setup in under 15 minutes; operational without reliance on fuel logistics.
- Mobile power: Sesame Nanogrids come in a range of forms from trailers to Conex containers, easily transported by trucks, helicopters and more.
- Designed for Expeditionary Operations: Mobile, modular systems engineered for rapid deployment and redeployment. Up to 120 square feet of interior space.
- Silent Operations: Reduces acoustic and thermal detection compared to fuel generators.
- Operational Resilience: Sustains missions in denied, degraded, intermittent, or limited (DDIL) environments.
Advanced Technology for Optimal Surveillance
- Surveillance Tools: Nanogrids are equipped with drone charging and deployment, motion sensors, AI-powered cameras and mobile radar systems.
- EV and Drone charging:: Extend operational range for drones and autonomous systems.
- Interior Office Space: Flexible configurations for manned and unmanned-office space.
Use Cases for Homeland Security and Border Patrol
Atmospheric Water Generation
Harvest water from humidity—support hydration needs and fuel cell operation in arid regions.
Critical Communications and Surveillance Backup
Ensure uninterrupted connectivity for radios, satellite uplinks, and surveillance feeds during grid outages or cyber disruptions.
Border Surveillance and Monitoring
Power mobile radar systems, cameras, and drone charging stations to maintain continuous border awareness in remote or rugged terrain.
Emergency and Humanitarian Response
Deliver power for mobile medical tents, communications hubs, and temporary shelters during border emergencies or humanitarian missions.
Forward Operating Bases and Outposts
Provide self-sustaining energy for communications, data systems, and office quarters at remote checkpoints or field stations.
Infrastructure Protection and Continuity
Safeguard border infrastructure with autonomous, resilient energy sources that maintain operations during attacks or natural disasters.
Mobile Command and Control Centers
Enable rapid deployment of off-grid command units for tactical coordination, communications, and real-time data analysis.
Strategic Manufacturing and Dual-Use Readiness
U.S.-Based Production
Systems are designed, manufactured and assembled in Michigan to meet Buy America requirements.
Scalable Production
Increase capacity in manufacturing output to meet demand.
Cost Efficiency
End-to-end materials due diligence ensures optimized supply chains and lower system costs across the technology stack.
Dual-Use Technology
Our Nanogrids serve civilian and defense customers,, accelerating time-to-field to meet business and mission-critical incentives.
International Cooperation
While U.S.-made, Sesame Solar supports allied nation deployments, enhancing interoperability across coalition forces.
Grants
Ways to pay for it: State and local, some federal. Tax credits where applicable. Multiple sources and streams to access. Energy resilience cost savings. Security grants for domestic terrorism
