Abstract
Project 9999 (PU C407) - Advanced energy storage systems are the foundation of the electric weapons kill chain, and their applications and demands are increasing in defense and naval applications. These applications require innovative battery technologies that provide high power and energy density, and provide increased rates of discharge, while ensuring safety and optimal thermal management. High Energy Storage Modules research will involve development, assembly and initial Naval certification testing of a 1,000 volt high-rate, high-power-density Lithium-ion battery pack in order to increase Naval operational capabilities. The 1,000-volt battery pack will combine newly developed and patented battery cooling technologies with an established Lithium-ion battery chemistry, produced by a domestic manufacturer. High Energy Storage Modules with higher discharge rates will decrease the amount of batteries needed to meet peak shipboard power loads. This effort will substantially progress the state of the art for high-rate water-cooled battery packs, to help bolster Naval operational capabilities. Project 9999 (PU C453) - Surface Navy Laser Weapon System (SNLWS) Program Re-phasing: Congress added funding in FY19 for re-phasing of the SNLWS development and fielding effort. This funding supports procurement of HELIOS long lead materials related to early award of the contract to Lockheed Martin Aculight. Project 9999 (PU C440) - Congressional Add - Electromagnetic Railgun Program: Congress added funding in FY19 for ship-based program/technical development and ship integration related risk reduction. Electromagnetic railgun provides increased capability for the following mission sets: Naval Surface Fire Support (NSFS), Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD), Fast Attack Craft and Fast Inshore Attack Craft (FAC/FIAC), and future potential for Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW). This funding supports the testing and refinement of pulse current transfer, mount, and hypervelocity projectile component development. In addition, this project supports the continuing effort to define and evolve requirements related to mount and platform interface management and maturations of specifications for tactical railgun weapon system.
