Applications
Green Adaptive Power
Firefly is a compact and fuel-flexible alternative to outdated power generation technology. It features significantly reduced weight, requires near-zero maintenance, and generates less emissions and noise than traditional mobile units. The revolutionary platform operates continuously for 8,000 hours without downtime, addressing ‘energy gaps’ with reliable electricity for the green energy transition, grid resilience and more.
Firefly’s extraordinary power-to-weight ratio is ideal for mission-critical applications.
At the heart of Antheon’s groundbreaking technology are a patented aeroderivative turbine and permanent magnet generator for direct-drive operation. It combines 1.5 MW output with a small footprint and streamlined design for easy transport to remote areas like disaster locations and war zones.
Power in Defense
As military operations transition to electric combat equipment, the need for a discreet and highly mobile charging solution becomes imperative.
As military operations transition to electric combat equipment, the need for a discreet and highly mobile charging solution becomes imperative. The Antheon Firefly system deploys rapidly and can help maintain power during critical missions, supporting vital utility supply for force provider units. It’s towable by a pickup truck or transportable via a medium-lift helicopter.
A single Firefly replaces 26 military generators (60kW) that weigh 6,000 lbs. each, while reducing total fuel consumption by up to 15%. Virtually silent and emission-free, the platform addresses the challenge of relocating charging stations without attracting undue attention.
Power in Response
The rising tide of natural disasters across the globe often interrupts power distribution in remote locations for extended periods of time, which can cripple emergency response and relief efforts.
The rising tide of natural disasters across the globe often interrupts power distribution in remote locations for extended periods of time, which can cripple emergency response and relief efforts. Response teams struggle to transport traditional power generators to devastated areas due to the size and weight of these units.
The sleek Firefly system can reach even the most isolated regions with ease, swiftly addressing power outages caused by hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and floods. It’s an emergency response accelerator, powering the critical infrastructure and support resources that vulnerable communities desperately require during their greatest hour of need.
Power in Resilience
Robust, back-up energy is now a requirement in urbanized and rural areas where existing infrastructure is becoming unreliable as rising consumption pushes already-strained grids.
Robust, back-up energy is now a requirement in urbanized and rural areas where existing infrastructure is becoming unreliable as rising consumption pushes already-strained grids.
Firefly is the foundation of a robust heating and power micro-grid, providing true energy resilience for the coming decades. It’s a decentralized alternative to a single power grid, helping mitigate the consequences of large-scale power failures and rolling blackouts.
Modern infrastructure also requires reactive power, sometimes called volt-ampere reactive (VAR), for voltage support and frequency stability. The push to renewable energy and the retirement of large baseload-carrying technology has increased the consumption of reactive power, while decreasing its local generation. Firefly supplies the static and dynamic VAR power that is vital to the reliability and robustness of today’s renewable grids.
Power in Motion
The proliferation of mobile charging stations is not keeping pace with the increasing global push for electric cars, trucks, and emerging electric air vehicles.
The proliferation of mobile charging stations is not keeping pace with the increasing global push for electric cars, trucks, and emerging electric air vehicles. As more manufacturers shift to EVs to meet surging market pressure, the need for rapid charging capability will only expand.
Firefly’s mobile, fast, and high-density capability can simultaneously charge up to 16 vehicles. It represents a simple, pioneering solution to the EV infrastructure dilemma.
Power in Remote
Supplying reliable power to remote industries like mining and offshore drilling can be challenging. These operations require a robust energy source to fuel massive equipment needs and keep production humming.

Conventional remote power systems are large, loud and emit noxious fumes. Firefly produces 1.5MW of robust and reliable energy in a small, lightweight and eco-friendly platform. It’s ideal for remote industries since it can be easily air-dropped to nearly any location or hauled with a standard pick-up truck.
