Research abstract
Small unmanned aerial systems (S-UAS), unmanned ground systems (UGS), vehicle auxiliary power units (APU), and mobile power generation units require high efficiency power systems capable of operating on logistically available fuels (JP-8, diesel) to enable long endurance operation.In particular, S-UASs in the Group 2 (2155 lbs)/Group 3 ( 150 cm2 active area) in the Phase I and then to the stack level (500W3 kW) in the Phase II in order to determine the feasibility for integration into a complete SOFC power system.There is a particular interest in potential stack technologies which prove to be flexible to fuel reformate composition and tolerant to fuel impurities, such as sulfur content.
