The modern military relies heavily on portable electricity. The efficient generation, storage and distribution of electrical energy in a war zone are essential to sustaining military operations. New, highly mobile energy conversion and storage devices, like proton-exchange membrane fuel cells and next-generation lithium-ion batteries, will provide military forces with an energy-on-demand option for communications, logistical operations and weaponry. In this regard, continued research and development efforts are needed so the performance of such devices matches military needs.
