Energy Efficient Devices Technology
Abstract
This Project addresses sustainment operations by unburdening the Soldier and reducing logistics requirements (e.g., fewer batteries) for communications, computing, and sensing. The objective is to improve the underlying energy efficiency of supply and demand for Soldier-portable and distributed sensor electronics to enable the dismounted Soldier to maintain communications, freedom of movement, and increase mission duration. The majority of the electronics power used by the dismounted Soldier and by distributed electronics is attributable to radio frequency (RF) communications. In addition, freedom of movement and action during sustained and high tempo operations requires seamless battery recharging. To address these challenges, energy efficient electronics research includes RF and optoelectronic circuits, devices, materials and wireless power (and data) transfer. Work in this Project complements/supports PE 0602146A (Network C3I Technology) Project AN3 (Non Traditional Waveforms Technology), PE 0602143A (Soldier Lethality Technology) Project BD8 (Soldier and Small Unit Tactical Energy Independence Technology), PE 0601102A (Defense Research Sciences) Project AA9 (Information and Networking).
