Soldier Hybrid Power and Smart Chargers
Abstract
This effort designs, fabricates and validates Soldier-borne hybrid power sources, batteries, rapid battery chargers, and power management software, devices and techniques in order to decrease Soldier load and power burden, increase power capabilities such as extending battery run-time, and decrease battery sizes and costs. Work in this effort includes research in Soldier-borne external combustion power generation, fuel cells and batteries, as well as experimenting with chemicals and other material to improve battery components such as electrolyte additives, ceramic membranes, and new cathode materials.
