In past years, FCS capability goals frequently provided starting points for the flow from military needs, to technical problem definition, to motivation for specific research; but many of this year's technical presentations lacked discussion of this essential flow. This change is probably at least partially due to 21

SEDD should proactively investigate commercial fuel cell activities and the potential for use of commercially available fuel cells for Army applications. For the High Power Li-Ion Batteries project, more work involving cell cycling under high power conditions at high and low temperature is justified.

They include SEDD's work to improve power generation and management in order to reduce logistics requirements and to realize important new capabilities; SEDD's development of important new technologies, such as fuel cells, rechargeable batteries, matrix power converters, silicon carbide power management devices, and high-energy battery technology; improved sensors; and contributions to information warfare. Also, as indicated above, SEDD is addressing new developments in basic science that may provide solutions to problems of critical importance, such as underground facility detection and highaccuracy, jamproof navigation.

From page 25... ...
Additional modeling activities would prove useful in the development of semiconductor devices such as quantum cascade lasers and quantum well infrared photodetectors, as well as sensors, microwave and millimeter wave systems, and even fuel cell design. Information security is relevant to SEDD in areas such as quantum cryptography and wireless communications.
