JP-8 based fuel cell systems can provide an SMET vehicle with the necessary power and energy to meet its requirements and perform as desired. On-board power means reduced need for generators, battery chargers and additional batteries, easing logistics.
An innovative, in situ hydrogen generation fuel cell has been developed at the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command''s Army Research Laboratory (ARL) for future warfighter power systems.
Coupling a green energy source (e.g., photovoltaic, wind) with fuel cells and hydrogen storage satisfied the dynamic energy consumption and dynamic hydrogen demand for both the civilian and military mobility sectors.
One drawback of hydrogen fuel cells is storage of the hydrogen itself. Current solutions are bulky, composite-overwrapped pressure vessels that require significant space. A way to tackle this...
The U.S. Army has launched first hydrogen nanogrid at White Sands Missile Range, advancing sustainable energy for remote military operations.
The US saw a major launch of a operational hydrogen-powered nanogrid just before the end of 2024. The nanogrid is compact and self-contained while being capable of providing power within 15 minutes.
Small utility trailer developed to carry high pressure hydrogen that will be used to fill small UAV and soldier portable hydrogen containers. Impact: Extending mission duration of the vehicle while enabling silent mobility and extended
The system combines a fuel cell, electrolyzer, hydrogen storage, battery energy storage, solar panels, and an atmospheric water generator to create a fully self-sufficient power source.
Several technologies were found to perform better than the state of the art compressed gas storage, exemplifying that advanced hydrogen storage could enable the electrification of the heaviest ground vehicles in the Army''s fleet.
The U.S. Army has launched first hydrogen nanogrid at White Sands Missile Range, advancing sustainable energy for remote military operations.
Developed by Michigan-based Sesame Solar, the WSMR nanogrid includes solar panels, an atmospheric water generator and an electrolyzer to split the hydrogen from water. It also features a fuel cell, low pressure hydrogen storage and battery energy storage.
