Pressure-Tolerant Batteries for Autonomous Undersea Applications

Abstract

This work will result in significant improvements in underwater battery packs. Such systems will power AUVs in scientific and military applications, as well as the critical offshore oil and sub-sea telecommunications industries. Our market study shows that, by 2005, AUV applications alone will constitute a multi-million dollar market for these batteries. In addition, the prospects for non-AUV uses are at least as promising.
