Reach builds wireless power beaming systems that enable
persistent drones, robotics, and sensors. Its wireless power
transfer technology (WPT) uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to power
and charge a range of electronic devices, from small unmanned
aerial systems (sUAS) to ground robots and hard-to-reach sensors,
eliminating reliance on batteries, and reducing the need for manual
battery swaps.
"Reach is pioneering innovative solutions that create ways to
move energy without moving mass—a critical capability for our
military's operational success," said Major General Hutmacher. "I
am excited to be Reach’s first advisory board member and I look
forward to both helping Reach build a strong board and bring
wireless power technology directly to the warfighter."
“We are delighted to welcome Major General Hutmacher, a
distinguished leader with extensive experience in intelligence,
special operations, and military strategy, to our Government
Advisory Board,” said Chris Davlantes, Founder and CEO of Reach.
“The formation of this board underscores our commitment to
supporting the Department of Defense in enhancing mission
efficiency and rapidly advancing technological capabilities.”
Major General (Ret.) Clayton M. Hutmacher has a distinguished
military career spanning over 40 years. As an Army Special
Operations Aviator, he commanded at every level during his three
tours with the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. His
leadership experience includes positions such as Regimental
Commander, Commanding General of the U.S. Army Special Operations
Aviation Command, and Director of Operations at U.S. Special
Operations Command in Tampa, FL. After retiring in 2018, Major
General Hutmacher became the President and CEO of the Special
Operations Warrior Foundation.
A native of Wenatchee, Washington, Major General Hutmacher was
awarded a Bachelor’s Degree in Aerospace Management from Embry
Riddle Aeronautical University, a Master’s Degree in National
Security and Strategic Studies from the United States Naval Command
and Staff College, and a Master’s Degree in Strategic Studies from
the United States Army War College.
