The most critical factor for maintaining this evolution will be the development of power supply systems capable of operating those electronics effectively for missions up to 72 hours long. To address the challenge, it is important that new approaches be sought on how to integrate and power these electronics. To assist in addressing this problem, the Army requested the National Research Council to review the state of the art and to recommend technologies that will support the rapid development of effective power systems for the future warrior. This report presents the results of that review. It provides an assessment of various technology options for different power level requirements, power system design, and soldier energy sinks. The report also describes future design concepts, focusing on low-power systems. Recommendations for technology development and system design are presented. 606 $aWeapons systems$xTechnological innovations$zUnited States 606 $aInfantry$xEquipment$xTechnological innovations$zUnited States 606 $aMilitary supplies$xTechnological innovations$zUnited States 615 0$aWeapons systems$xTechnological innovations 615 0$aInfantry$xEquipment$xTechnological innovations 615 0$aMilitary supplies$xTechnological innovations 676 $a623/.043 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on Soldier Power/Energy Systems. 712 02$aNational Academy of Sciences (U.S.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783139603321 996 $aMeeting the energy needs of future warriors$93774992 997 $aUNINA
