Building battery packs for various, significantly different applications, is often complex and risky. Detailed cell and pack modeling and simulation tools, along with existing and predicted power and energy profiles significantly reduce the risk of designing and integrating a new pack for new applications on the battlefield. This paper will discuss a number of modeling and simulation techniques, using case studies as examples, that ensure a battery pack, when integrated ...
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 ...
