Battery Development and Safety

Abstract

1)Provide an advanced battery database with standard battery families for program offices to use to allow for selection of batteries early in the design process increasing the likelihood of design and fielding success, 2) leverage the battery database to begin common battery design efforts to save cost, 3) establish common battery standards and design requirements (e.g., propagation resistant designs, standard battery monitoring and casualty detection systems, etc.) to make advanced batteries safer and therefore deployable, 4) develop and test standard battery storage/container systems that can safely house batteries and withstand catastrophic failure (thermal runaway) of the batteries within the container while minimizing damage to surrounding equipment and platforms, 5) streamline the battery safety certification process especially for high energy storage magazines and other large battery designs (lasers) to allow battery based weapon systems to be fielded in time to support strategic needs, 6) develop hazard mitigation technologies to support rapid safe deployment of advanced batteries to support weapon systems, 7) generate analytics that characterize the Department's current and projected energy/advanced battery needs, 8) establish the Navy's contribution to DoD and cross-service advanced battery supply chain efforts.
