BACKGROUND AND SCOPE

The United States (US) Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance & Special Operations Forces (ISR & SOF) Directorate, Special Warfare Program Office (AFLCMC/WISN) is conducting market research to identify conformable batteries to power wearable hubs for special warfare personnel.

CAPABILITY GAP

Current batteries used are bulky and obstruct movement of special warfare operators. Additionally, current battery solution options leave the operator’s (current) battery exposed creating significant risk as the battery is more susceptible to damage by gunfire or other kinetic action. The solution shall be more streamlined and better integrate into an operator’s silhouette profile and body worn kit.

System Requirements:

- The battery shall be SMBus and SBData compliant to v1.1 as a minimum.

- The battery shall be wearable and of a size less than one (1) inch in thickness/depth and less than 11x11 inches (length/height) to allow concealable and protectable configuration within a ground operator’s/military member’s body-worn kit (within kit fabric and/or protected by ballistic plates).

- The battery unit less than or equal to 3 pounds in maximum weight (excluding cables, adapters, and charging accessories).

- The battery shall be AC/DC chargeable. Other charging capabilities include vehicle and/or solar as preferred secondary options.

- The battery should have options to connect equipment via common industry standards and easily configurable to end user’s future requirements

- The battery shall be capable of operating in extreme environments to include temperatures below 20 degrees Fahrenheit and above 130 degrees Fahrenheit.

- The battery, when fully charged, shall be capable of providing power exceeding five (5) hours of continuous use
