Ground Vehicle Power and Mobility

Abstract

Power and Energy Trends: Battlefield consumption of energy increasing - New C4ISR technologies - IED Defeat Systems - New weapons - Energy security problematic - Increasing dependence on foreign oil - Alternative sources sought - wind, solar, bio-mass, waste to energy - Operational issues - Battery usage and limitations - energy and power density - Demand for auxiliary power on-board vehicles - Emphasis on silent (quiet) watch - Unmanned vehicles (air/ground) - Unattended sensors - Inefficient management/distribution of power - Demand for soldier-wearable power - Increased emphasis on system power metrics (KPPs, low consumption components)
