Single-use military/aerospace systems are becoming more sophisticated and miniaturized. Meanwhile, the battery technologies used to power these devices have remained essentially unchanged for decades, creating bottlenecks to innovation and demanding more intelligent battery-powered solutions. Systematic Approach Needed Single-use military applications range from ordinance guidance systems to torpedoes, smart ammunition, mines, sonobuoys, unattended ground sensors, UAVs,…

R&D teams are showing interest in underground sensors, accelerating the commercial development potential for WUSNs. Wireless devices have become ubiquitous, with new applications continually emerging to address the needs of a technology-driven world. Wireless devices can now be found virtually everywhere; from underwater sensor networks that warn of seismic activities that could lead to tsunamis,…
