• Battlefield consumption of energy increasing– New C4ISR technologies– IED Defeat Systems– New weapons

• Energy security problematic– Increasing dependence on foreign oil– Alternative sources sought – wind, solar, bio-

mass, waste to energy

• Operational issues– Battery usage & limitations – energy & power

density– Demand for auxiliary power on-board vehicles– Emphasis on silent (“quiet”) watch– Unmanned vehicles (air/ground)– Unattended sensors– Inefficient management/ distribution of power– Demand for soldier-wearable power

• Increased emphasis on system power metrics (KPPs, low consumption components)
