Research abstract
The need for long submerged durations and more power-hungry mission packages in unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) applications has spurned the development of advanced energy storage systems that can achieve energy densities greater than current battery chemistries. Hydrogen/oxygen fuel cells, while demonstrating good efficiency and system simplicity, are constrained by the volume requirements of high pressure gas storage. Giner has participated in ONR programs aimed at development of high energy density hydrogen. This current subsequent SBIR application builds on this motif toward the design, fabrication and demonstration of hydrogen/oxygen fuel cell stack having superb product water management and heat rejection capabilities. Giner aims to augment the Navy’s air-independent propulsion capabilities by optimization and demonstration of PEMFC technology to relevant operational requirements of unmanned underwater vehicles under development by ONR and NUWC.
