For many UAV missions, flight endurance is no longer limited by the aircraft itself. It is limited by the amount of usable energy that can be carried, transported, and replenished in the field. A typical battery-powered UAV may complete a short reconnaissance or inspection flight and then require a battery replacement or lengthy recharge before […]

Introduction: Tactical Power Requires More Than Energy In tactical operations, power availability can determine mission success. Traditional field power solutions often create new challenges: diesel generators produce significant noise and thermal signatures, while liquid-fuel alternatives such as Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFCs) face limitations related to fuel handling, efficiency, and long-term performance. For modern defense,
