Powering the U.S. Army of the Future
A new National Academies report recommends that the U.S. Army should "diversify the fuels it uses in ground
vehicles but warns that electricity and pure electric vehicles are not practical alternatives," as noted in Forbes.
At the request of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Research and Technology, NASEM has released
Powering the U.S. Army of the Future, which examines the U.S. Army's future power requirements for sustaining a
multi-domain operational conflict and considers to what extent emerging power generation and transmission
technologies can achieve the Army's operational power requirements in 2035.
