Water
Rated up to 38 L a day*. Output is lower in dry desert air, so 150 L of stored water (design capacity) carries the site through the hottest hours.
A squad Rally Point unit makes drinking water from desert air and stores power from the sun, for border-region towns, ranches, trailheads and work crews far from a water line.
In the desert, water is the first thing to run out. Wells are far apart, water hauling is costly, and summer heat turns a breakdown into an emergency.
Dry air is hard on water makers, and heat is hard on batteries. A desert site needs equipment sized for both.
Featured product: Squad Rally Point
Rated up to 38 L a day*. Output is lower in dry desert air, so 150 L of stored water (design capacity) carries the site through the hottest hours.
800 W of fold-out solar charges 10.24 kWh of LiFePO4 battery storage in full desert sun.
The shelter kit adds shade beside the unit, and the sealed bay keeps first-aid supplies out of the sun.
Satellite internet ready, with satellite messaging and a 406 MHz beacon where there is no cell signal.
Full water rating off the grid: the solar wing array adds panels rated at 3 kW, the power the 38 L a day rating assumes when there is no AC.
Add-on modules: O3 Solar wing array (MSRP $10,600)
Shade: a 10 x 20 ft canopy with four walls for a cool place to wait.
Add-on modules: O5 Shelter kit (MSRP $1,600)

* Rated water output is at 80 F and 60% humidity with full power from AC or the optional O3 solar wing array (3 kW). Output varies with air temperature and humidity.
Truck the unit to the trailhead, well site or crew camp and open the wings.
It pulls water from the air overnight and in the cooler hours and fills the tank.
Crews and visitors refill bottles at the tap, and the battery runs radios and lights after dark.
