Jack Ryan, Program Manager for DIU. At present, the DoD is heavily dependent on mobile generators in a microgrid configuration for its tactical power systems, but has been lacking a systems-integrated energy storage solution that can enhance grid resilience, fuel efficiency, and optimize tactical generator performance.
“The agency manages a diverse battery portfolio – from the ubiquitous AAA battery powering wildland firefighting efforts to high-energy thermal batteries supporting the intercontinental ballistic missiles of the nuclear triad,” Styer and Prosko wrote.
Batteries and tactical energy storage should be included in pre-positioned war reserve materiel to ensure today’s modernized joint force is electronically equipped for success, Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime officials say in a white paper published last month (DLA common access card required to view).
Aligning energy resources with the needs of modern warfighters can enhance rapid response while minimizing the risk of contested supply lines, the authors continue. As the DOD’s only logistics combat support agency, DLA supports military forces with over 4,000 types of batteries and provides battlefield energy solutions.
