Combat Vehicle Energy Storage

Abstract

Vehicle Electrification Benefits/Drivers. 1. Onboard power for energy-based capabilities, such as directed energy weapons, jammers, electrified armor, etc.; 2. Silent Mobility/Silent Watch; 3. Extended Operations between resupply due to anti-idling; 4. Improved Mobility (and Survivability) due to improved acceleration and burst speed; 5. Ability to leverage vehicle to grid to support base camps for expeditionary operations; 6. Ability to leverage host nation power grid to reduce logistics; 7. Reduced maintenance/sustainment costs.
