Performance Driven Generative Design allows you to explore and validate designs through simulation, make informed decisions on weight reduction and optimized performance. Generate shapes that Many military energy applications are crippled by dependence on fossil fuels, batteries with limited life and capacity, and operations in areas that are difficult, expensive, and risky for energy resupply via conventional means. Within the past few years, there has been a surge in advances in multiple technology areas that have direct and compelling relevance to these problems. Technology to support the ability to send energy over long distances without wires has gained momentum, currency, and recognition by many entities.

For defense purposes, a number of application areas are of immediate interest: swarming, teamed, and individual autonomous air, ground, and sea vehicles; offboard countermeasures; unattended ground and sea sensors; explosive ordnance disposal; and assets security. Perhaps the ultimate application of wireless power is space solar, in which sunlight collected in orbit is sent to points of need on the earth.

Power beaming offers compelling crossover opportunities with other areas of great military relevance: directed energy, radar/lidar, jamming, high-rate communications, and data exfiltration. It presents a critical and disruptive opportunity to ensure our forces continue to have decisive overmatch in key areas that are undergirded by reliable energy, and it enables new operational concepts.Learn more
