INI Power Systems

INI Power Systems, founded in 2001, operates as a specialized provider of portable power generation solutions, primarily serving the defense sector. The company was established by Larry J. Markoski, who also serves as its Chief Technology Officer and is the lead inventor behind its core technologies. Markoski, a holder of numerous patents, has guided the firm's focus on addressing the specific operational energy challenges faced by military personnel in the field. This focus is rooted in a strategy of direct observation and a "closed-loop innovation" approach to solve what the company terms "warfighter pain points." In October 2020, INI Power Systems was acquired by The Dewey Electronics Corporation, a company with a long history in military power systems, with the expectation that the acquisition would be materially accretive to revenues.

The company's business model is centered on the design, manufacture, and sale of compact, lightweight, and quiet multi-fuel generators. Its primary client base consists of the U.S. military, various national and international government agencies, and law enforcement organizations. INI Power secures revenue through government contracts, including over 30 prime contract awards since 2019 from bodies like the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for components and generator systems. A notable achievement was a 5-year indefinite delivery contract from the DLA awarded in 2020.

INI Power's core product offering is its line of man-portable generators, with outputs ranging from 0.5kW to 5kW. A key differentiator is the proprietary U.S. patented OMNIVORE® engine technology. This system modifies standard commercial gasoline engines to become fuel-agnostic, enabling them to run on a wide array of liquid and compressed fuels, including JP-8 (the standard U.S. military fuel), diesel, gasoline, propane, and kerosene, even in combination. This flexibility is a significant tactical advantage, allowing units in remote environments to generate power from any available logistical or locally scavenged fuel source. Beyond generators, the company also develops hybrid power solutions like the ALLY (Autonomous Lightweight Lithium-ion hYbrid) Power Router and Storage system, designed for silent operations and integrated power management.
