Hybrid Energy Storage Module Program
Abstract
This project, co-sponsored by ASD(R&E) and ASD(OEPP), addresses advanced technology development of hybrid energy storage associated with providing the capability to enhance fuel efficiency, maximize performance and reliability, and enable future high power weapons and sensor systems on legacy and next generation Army and USMC battlefield generators and vehicles, Air Force and Navy aircraft, and Navy ships. The goals of this project are to demonstrate in each of these areas energy storage systems, with high power and energy densities, high rate capability, scalable to all power levels, that reduces total logistics replenishment of fuel and material, increases platform and vehicle ability to sustain operations during engagement, and reduce non mission capable and maintenance events. Once demonstration is complete, this technology will be further sustained by the Services. In collaboration, this program is closely coordinated with the Advanced Management and Protection of Energy-storage Devices (AMPED) program of the Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E). AMPED technology will be used to potentially extend the operational performance benefits and safety for these applications beyond the hybrid storage module baseline design configurations.
