Testing of Nanophosphate (trademark) Prismatic Battery Cells in the XM1134 Hybrid Electric HMMWV.

摘要

The XM1124 HE HMMWV has the potential for providing this capability on the battlefield. The XM1124 is a TARDEC funded program that converts a standard HMMWV into a series, HE HMMWV. Over the past 5 years, this vehicle has been in the hands of the warfighter and has undergone a significant amount of testing and a number of upgrades. In a joint effort between TARDEC, DRS, and A123 Systems, the vehicle is being upgraded using A123 Nanophosphate(Trademark) prismatic cells to provide additional energy storage. This technology shows the potential for providing the energy and power needed for a ruggedized Military Application, while providing a safe, efficient means of energy storage and transfer that can be used in this extremely challenging environment.
