Expeditionary Closed and Air-Independent Power and Energy (ExCAIPE)
AI Overview
DARPA seeks development of high-energy-density, air-independent rechargeable batteries for military applications where oxygen is unavailable—such as underwater, high-altitude, or space operations. Proposals must demonstrate specific energy exceeding 1 kWh/kg with electrical rechargeability over multiple charge cycles.

Key Details
Official Description
Electrically rechargeable batteries are of central importance for powering a wide range of military applications, including vehicles, computational assets, and sensing and communication devices. However, endurance is currently limited by the low-energy-density of state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries (~400 Wh/kg). Recent advances in air-breathing battery and fuel cell chemistry have made it feasible to envision electrically rechargeable systems with specific energy many times that of lithium-io...
