DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT A – Approved for Public Release
RDECOM ARDEC has made significant investments in the development of power sources for gun‐launched munitions and fuzing system applications.
Liquid reserve batteries are a critical component of fuzing technologies, traditionally suited for moderately powered, longer‐lived electronic fuzes attached to rapidly rotating projectiles.
Thermal reserve batteries are traditionally used where high power is required for a relatively shorter time, and the munition rotated slowly, or not at all, as with rockets and missiles.
Solid state power sources, such as setback generators, are traditionally suited for low power applications, as with some medium caliber rounds.
Munitions’ power budgets continue to increase for sensors and actuators and addressed with old technologies
The advent and continued proliferation of smaller and smarter munitions and fuzing systems continue to drive the need for a much higher energy & power density reserve power sources.
