Alternate Power Sources

Abstract

The Alternate Power Sources thrust aims to develop materials and technologies to utilize alternative power sources with the potential to provide significant strategic and tactical advantages to the DoD. A consistent DoD need continues to be greater efficiency in a portable form factor. Portable photovoltaic technologies will strive to meet this need and at low cost manufacturing. Very small volume (less than one cubic millimeter) rechargeable micro-batteries with maintained energy density comparable to conventional lithium ion batteries are being developed.
