Energy Storage:
Abstract
This effort investigates novel advanced ground vehicle energy storage devices such as advanced chemistry batteries and ultra capacitors for starting, lighting, and ignition and silent watch requirements for powering vehicle electronics and communications systems with main engine off. These energy storage devices must meet harsh military requirements that far exceed commercial requirements such as extreme temperature operation (-46 to +71C), ballistic shock and vibration, and electromagnetic interference (in accordance with MIL-SPEC 810G). Mature advanced batteries are required to reduce battery volume and weight while improving their energy and power densities within the same footprint and must be designed in a standardized form factor (6T) to enhance logistics.
