Abstract
While current large-scale manufacturing is dominated by a small number of Asian firms, there is a rapidly developing U.S. battery design and production industry. Given the increasing variety and quantities of batteries used by the Navy and other services, security of supply has become a prominent issue. We will analyze the key issues associated with Navy sourcing and use of batteries, including what is being bought, who are these items being bought from, and the risks associated with current approaches. We will then identify the size of any potential shortfall and develop alternative courses of action. A template that would capture the cost and risk of such a contingency approach will be proposed to support analysis of alternatives compared to the status quo.
