Integrating rugged hybrid energy and power supplies in military UAVs - Story
August 05, 2024Future unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) used by the military will require fully integrated, higher agility unconventional weapons and armor systems such as electromagnetic weapons and directed energy weapon systems. To meet these requirements, hybrid energy sources and power systems are currently the best alternative to support the demand for propulsion, continuous auxiliary power, and pulsed power demand for weapons and operation of the UAVs. Development of these weapons and technologies are progressing at a fast rate and can be demonstrated at scale today, but they also must integrate rugged energy sources and power supplies capable of operation in harsh conditions and in tandem with extreme weapons.
