Soldier Power And Energy Concepts and Technologies
Abstract
This Project conducts applied research to improve safe, compact, efficient, rugged, lightweight, and energy dense power sources for increased capabilities for the mounted and dismounted force. This Project also investigates materials, processes, and component level energy storage and conversion technologies that enable tactical overmatch and reduce the physical and cognitive burden on Soldiers. Research will focus on safe electrochemical energy storage, high specific energy storage and conversion, novel materials and processing for energy and power, and new cell designs that address the power needs of future capabilities including advanced sensors, communications systems, and electronic Warfighting capabilities. Enabling and emerging technologies are supported in this Project to address future Soldier power needs necessary for increased lethality, increased mobility, and longer mission durations at reduced physical burden to the Soldier in the future operating environment. The cited research is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Research in this Project is performed by the Army Research Laboratory (ARL).
