Hybrid Energy Storage Module (HESM)

Abstract

This project explores advanced technology development of hybrid energy storage associated with providing the capability to enhance fuel efficiency, maximize performance and reliability, and enable future high power weapons and sensor systems on legacy and next generation Army and USMC battlefield generators and vehicles, Air Force and Navy aircraft, and Navy ships. This project will demonstrate scalable energy storage systems with high power and energy densities, high rate capability that: reduce total logistics replenishment of fuel and material; increase platform and vehicle ability to sustain operations during engagement; and reduce maintenance and other events that interfere with mission capability. Post the demonstration completion, this technology will be further sustained by the Services. This program is closely coordinated with the Advanced Management and Protection of Energy-storage Devices (AMPED) program of the Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E). AMPED technology will be used to potentially extend the operational performance benefits and safety for these applications beyond the hybrid storage module baseline design configurations.
