Advanced Hybrid Stored Energy Devices for Affordable Air Weaponry

4 recipients will receive $1,446,000. This is a first-time earmark.

Year Enacted: 2005

Description: Develop advanced hybrid energy storage devices based on supercapacitor and high rate lithium-ion battery technologies. This effort will produce and test prototype hybrid energy storage devices, and provide a technical report for analysis of the feasibility that these devices could meet air weaponry power requirements. Recent materials advances indicate that these new hybrid energy storage devices will be capable of meeting performance and storage requirements to support replacing thermal batteries. Additionally, these advances will significantly reduce the size and weight of these power supplies, thus providing increased mission flexibility for air weaponry, as well as producing considerable cost savings to the Navy.
