Tactical Advanced Power (TAP)

Abstract

The Tactical Advanced Power (TAP) program solved high-risk, mission-critical portable power and energy challenges (approximately 1 kilowatt and below) that are unique to DoD. TAP has provided 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 has deployed fuel cell-enabled small (hand-launched) unmanned aerial vehicles for long-endurance missions (greater than 6 hours).
