Tactical Advanced Power (TAP)*

Abstract

*Previously funded under Power Components in project MBT-01 The Tactical Advanced Power (TAP) program is solving high-risk, mission-critical portable power and energy challenges (approximately 1 kilowatt and below) that are unique to DoD. TAP provides near-term solutions to DoD energy needs through an integrated approach that leverages available technologies, further develops existing science, and establishes new methods of energy generation, extraction, transmission, conversion, and storage. TAP is deploying fuel cell-enabled small (hand-held) unmanned aerial vehicles for long-endurance missions (greater than 5 hours).
