U.S. Air Force Airmen with the 36th Contingency Response Group setting up and using the Project Arcwater system at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam Aug. 2, 2023. The system is composed of a Pvilion solar panel, small backup generator, environmental control unit and the Mangrove. The Pvilion solar panels provide solar energy to the batteries which provides power to the ECU system and Mangrove. The Mangrove system can purify salt and fresh water, or harvest water vapor from the air into drinkable water. The goal of Project Arcwater is to integrate the Mangrove with the Pvilion system.
