Department Of Air Force Looks To Industry For Next Generation Batteries
The Department of the Air Force is seeking help from industry and academia to achieve breakthroughs in energy generation and storage, as current batteries are a key limitation for Air Force applications. The DAF aims to improve battery energy density by two or three times, and research will also focus on improving safety and certification processes. The effort is part of a broader push to develop more advanced and efficient energy solutions for future air and space missions, and could have significant implications for the aerospace industry. This development was first reported by Breaking Defense.
