Power Aware Smart Submunitions (PASS)

Abstract

The Power-Aware Smart Submunitions (PASS) project is funded through the DARPA IPTO Power Aware Computing and Communications (PACC) program. PASS has investigated the application of power-aware technology to military systems in general and smart submunitions in particular. This final report presents a summary of that investigation as well as several research notes included in the appendix. The research notes include a technology roadmap, description of how applications must interact with the power-management infrastructure, and methods to manage energy versus delay tradeoffs. Our conclusion is that application developers must determine the connections between energy management and optimization of mission goals; technology that performs energy conservation is valuable but, by itself, is not competent to optimally achieve mission objectives.
