Abstract
Many unmanned undersea and aerial systems currently in development are looking for alternative energy sources, including hydrogen, to maximize operational reach and persistence. Current Expeditionary Advance Base Operations (EABO) processes are heavily reliant on logistics and depleting petroleum sources. This capstone project will analyze the potential use of hydrogen fuel generated via a mobile, independent system to address logistics and fuel depletion concerns for EABO.
