Hydrogen Based Combat System Advanced Technology

Abstract

This Project matures, integrates and demonstrates the technologies required to enable combat systems to be powered by fuel cells to enable increased operational endurance, silent operations and improved mobility. This effort demonstrates the integration of multiple fuel cell stacks to achieve necessary power levels for tracked combat systems. The efforts in this Project analyze hydrogen generation and distribution approaches to validate operational relevance of hydrogen on the battlefield. This effort also develops and demonstrates in a relevant environment the required hydrogen generation technologies in order to quantify reliability, durability and efficiency. The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. All FY 2020 adjustments align program financial structure to Army Modernization Priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy. Work in this Project supports the Army Modernization Priority Next Generation Combat Vehicle. Work is performed by the U.S. Army Futures Command. This Project is coordinated with PE 0602145A (Next Generation Combat Vehicle Technology).
