Summary As the U.S. Army seeks to improve combat effectiveness and survivability, innovative energy systems are becoming more critical. This article outlines applications of the microgrids as they relate to U.S. Army Regulation (AR) 70-75, “Survivability of Army Personnel and Materiel” [1], survivability criteria and rapid deployment microgrid (Figure 1) successes in providing deployable power…
Summary This article explores existing alternative energy capabilities that the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) can leverage to ensure technological operability in austere environments, mitigate costs required for long-term installations, and provide clean energy considerations where feasible. It aligns with the government’s existing renewable energy generation and storage critical technology area and can provide researchers,…
Background Homeland defense and security depends on peak performance of field personnel and early detection of exposure to chemical/biological threats. Field-deployable molecular monitoring both on body or in body is finally becoming a believable near-term prospect. Introduction Humans continue to be mission-critical components, thus limiting mission efficacy in performance and health. This human-dependence highlights the…
For over a century, the chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) enterprise focused on chemicals, biological agents, radiological isotopes, and nuclear weapons proliferation. The shift from the Cold War to counterterrorism changed the employment of the mission, but the fundamentals have stayed the same. The science behind the ability of the United States to detect…
The Homeland Defense and Security Information Analysis Center was asked to provide information on recent and ongoing efforts to field small-scale wind-power designs generating ≤100 kW to serve standalone electrical loads not connected to a utility distribution system or local microgrid. Sources include work from U.S. Department of Defense entities, academic scholars, and industrial/commercial products…
