Insitu Advances its Fuel Cell Technology
The defense industry is growing increasingly interested in the benefits of hydrogen fuel cell technology, which range from environmental to operational.
- The defense industry is growing increasingly interested in the benefits of hydrogen fuel cell technology, which range from environmental to operational.
- Fuel cells support better ISR data collection because PEM fuel cell stack emissions are limited to small amounts of H2O and trace amounts of H2.
- The fuel cell and electric motor thermal and acoustic signatures are significantly lower than traditional internal combustion (IC) engines, enabling mission routes closer to targets.
- The PEM fuel cell / electric motor combination also decreases platform vibration and enables excess power to support greater payload diversity.
