DIRECTED ENERGY SYSTEM

ONE PLATFORM.
EVERY APPLICATION.

The DES electronics package is sector-agnostic. Same core system, adapted applicators — deployed wherever biology requires targeted elimination without chemistry.

THE SYSTEM

HI-RAIL EVM.
FIRST OF ITS KIND.

Direct|Rail is a compact, all-in-one electronic vegetation management system designed for hi-rail deployment. Installed on your existing rig, it operates on a battery-hybrid power source for all-day field runs — no separate power trailer, no chemistry supply chain, no re-entry interval.

The system delivers variable treatment capabilities — from blanket coverage of dense weed growth to targeted single-plant treatment. It is equally effective from sprout through established vegetation, covering exactly what pre-emergent programs miss.

Tech List
Pulse Generation
Advanced pulse generation electronics produce high-voltage, precisely timed electrical pulses. Pulse characteristics — voltage, duration, frequency, waveform — are configurable per target organism and application environment.
Energy Profile Calibration
Each target organism has a specific biological vulnerability profile. The DES is calibrated to concentrate energy at that vulnerability — nervous system disruption for nematodes, cell wall rupture for fungal pathogens, tissue damage for vegetation. One system. Multiple profiles.
Delivery Apparatus
The applicator is the physical interface between the electronics and the treatment zone. Electrode arrays for vegetation management. Soil probes for root zone treatment. Aeration-compatible units for turf. Batch chambers for nursery stock. Each is designed for its environment. The electronics are shared.
Power Management
Battery-hybrid power manages the energy storage and discharge cycle. The system operates all-day on batteries. Primary power source classification: batteries. Operational carbon classification: near carbon neutral at the point of application.
Zero Residue Protocol
No chemical is introduced at any point in the treatment process. No soil loading. No waterway contamination risk. No re-entry interval. No restricted-use material handling. Treatment is completed by electricity. Nothing remains.

PLATFORM ARCHITECTURE

SAME ELECTRONICS.
DIFFERENT WORLDS.

The DES electronics package is the same core unit across all Lisi Global applications. What changes is the applicator. This architecture reduces the cost of adaptation, simplifies manufacturing, and enables deployment across rail, row crop, vineyard, and turf without reinventing the core system for each sector. Improvements to the core DES benefit every application simultaneously.

FIELD VALIDATION

Direct|Rail is not a prototype. It is a commercially validated system with three years of continuous on-track testing. The development program validated large-area treatment capability and confirmed consistent, repeatable efficacy against the most resilient weed species in ballast environments.

Results were consistent and repeatable across multiple testing seasons. The system refined continuously through the program — electronics, applicator configuration, and power management all optimized through real-world on-track operation.

HOW IT WORKS

PULSED. PRECISE.
IMMEDIATE.

The Direct|Rail system applies tailored pulses of electricity through a 16-foot electrode array. Energy concentrates at the plant tissue — disrupting cellular function and eliminating the target in seconds. Nothing is left behind in the soil or the corridor.

How It Works
01
Mount & Configure
The compact DES unit installs on your existing hi-rail vehicle. Battery-hybrid power connects. No separate trailer, no additional equipment. Operator training takes one session.
02
Drive the Corridor
The hi-rail operates at up to 5 mph along the treatment corridor. The 16-foot electrode array deploys continuously, covering the full ballast zone with each pass.
03
Energy Targets the Plant
Pulsed electrical energy concentrates in plant tissue on contact. Cell disruption occurs in seconds. No chemical preparation, no wait time, no post-treatment window required.
04
Zero Left Behind
No residue in the soil. No chemical loading of waterways. No re-entry interval. The corridor is clean, compliant, and available for normal operations immediately after treatment.

COMMERCIAL AVAILABILITY

READY TO
DEPLOY.

Direct|Rail is available now for rail operators. Our team works with you to assess corridor requirements, vehicle compatibility, and program structure. Initial deployment support and operator training are included in both programs.
