Long Duration Power Concepts
Abstract
(U) The requirement for generating power over long duration missions proposes unique challenges in energy storage, power conditioning and overall integration. This thrust explored the breakthroughs in power generation needed for extremely long duration, unmanned applications including unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs). These included energy storage approaches that are efficient as well as energy efficient. It also evaluated approaches for efficiently removing the energy at rates commensurate with the high sprint power often required in these applications.
