Abstract Government Contracts Drive the Dynamic Battery Market
The ongoing evolution of military equipment technology necessitates simultaneous improvements in the batteries that provide critical power. A flood of research and development (R&D)-oriented Government contracts focused on technological enhancements of existing battery chemistries is stimulating the growth of the battery market and presenting vendors with significant opportunities to continually expand their business. However, a standard termination clause in all contracts, entitling the Government to end the agreement at its convenience, as well as possible contractual modifications due to budgetary constraints or changes in requirements presents a strong challenge to vendors.
This research analyzes the battery markets for military/aerospace applications in the United States based on the following segments: military aircraft, communication/satellite equipment, and Department of Defense (DoD) budget analysis. In addition, batteries used to power training and simulation equipment in the military are included in each specific area. It provides detailed insights into recent developments and trends; analyzes drivers, restraints, and challenges; offers strategic recommendations; and discusses emerging applications in the military battery market.
Increasing Demand for Higher Energy and Lighter Battery Technologies
Battery power plays a crucial role on the battlefield in operating most kinds of military equipment. In the case of communication equipment such as the Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS), the weight and service life of communication equipment batteries can restrict the mobility and field operating time for infantry and reconnaissance units. While this is a restraint for the lithium/sulfur dioxide (Li/SO2) chemistry - commonly utilized in the SINCGARS - it acts as a driver for competing chemistries such as lithium/manganese dioxide (Li/MNO2) and in the long term, for secondary lithium chemistries such as lithium ion (Li-ion).
"The demand for a lightweight, more powerful battery is unlikely to ever diminish as communication/satellite equipment continues to evolve and improve. This creates a healthy long-term trend for vendors operating such batteries in the military equipment space," says the analyst.
Continual Action to Eradicate Terrorism Strengthens Equipment Requirements, Promoting Battery Market Growth
Recent terrorist attacks against the United States have significantly impacted the battery markets for communication equipment. America's war against terrorism has necessitated a greater emphasis on human intelligence gathering. While this factor may not directly drive the market for equipment and batteries, any action taken as a result of intelligence gathering will require their use. Additionally, unmanned surveillance and reconnaissance vehicles are anticipated to provide extensive information for future battlefield operations. "Communication requirements are expected to remain very high, driving an increase in demand and therefore, production of equipment and the need for batteries," notes the analyst.
