March, 2013 Energy Storage System
Cockeysville, MD — BAE Systems has awarded Saft with $1.3 million in new funding for the continued devel- opment of a Lithium-ion (Li-ion)
tronics. Comprised of ultra-high- power, high-voltage VL 5U cells, the Li-ion ESS supports the GCV’s elec- tric drive system when the vehicle is
Saft Lithium-Ion
U.S. Army Ground Combat Vehicle (GCV) in development.
energy storage system for the U.S. Army’s Ground Combat Vehicle (GCV) program. Saft, which is designing and building ultra-high- power cells for the vehicle’s hybrid electric drive system, has already completed the demo battery system including hardware and software. The GCV is part of a growing list
of military vehicle prototypes for which Saft has supplied advanced energy storage solutions (ESS). The new funding for the GCV project is an addition to the initial 2010 contract. The GCV is a nine-man
Infantry Carrier that can protect against threats, move in urban and off-road terrain and accommodate emerging technologies such as light- weight armor composites and elec-
not running on gasoline, such as dur- ing silent watch missions. The ESS system employs green technologies which improves vehicle fuel con- sumption and weight savings. Saft joins Northrop Grumman,
iRobot, MTU, and Qinetiq North America on the BAE Systems GCV team, one of two industry teams working on the technology develop- ment phase of the program. The 24- month technology development phase is aimed at completing prelim- inary design reviews in order build prototype systems prior to the engi-
neering and manufacturing phase. Contact: Saft America Inc., 313
