Zulu Pods

Zulu Pods is a groundbreaking fluid delivery technology company focusing on dual-use applications in defense and aerospace markets. The ZPod is a first-of-its-kind technology that revolutionizes fluid delivery by unitizing traditional circulating systems that typically rely on a network of tanks, pumps, nozzles, plumbing, etc., to move fluid from point A to point B within a mechanical system. The ZPod lowers part count, lowers weight and cost, while also increasing performance on expendable and attritable platforms. The Zulu Pods technology stack is also being applied to increase safety margin for helicopters during loss of lubrication events. Finally, Zulu Pods is fielding a new and fully automated device, called the Anti-Corrosion SmartPod (ACSP) that simplifies routine maintenance of any oil-wetted assets. A shop tool that simply interfaces with any asset and provides on-time routine lubrication while constantly assessing the health of the asset and its environment. The ACSP's debut will be deployed on the F-35B in collaboration with Rolls-Royce and the F-35 Joint Program Office.
