Operational Energy Demand Reduction
Abstract
In FY 2023, OECI successfully completed operational energy efficiency projects that delivered innovative next generation warfighting capabilities including: demonstration of the first in-space laser power beaming experiment – a critical and essential component to multi-domain energy delivery capabilities; world record-setting evolution of space-based photovoltaics; multi-domain power beaming/wireless power transfer that increased efficiencies over longer distances at greater power levels; completion of supply chain studies into materials, battery technology, graphene and novel innovation pathways for alternative fuels, and adaptive aerodynamic surfaces that drive efficiencies in aviation platforms. OECI competitively awarded 28 new projects in FY 2023 to increase aviation efficiencies and space efficiencies and reduce demand of fossil fuels in contested environments.
