Cobra Gold Military Exercise Puts DARPA Portable Fuel Cells to the Test
The next generation of portable fuel cells is being, almost literally, battle-tested by the U.S. military, which put a portable fuel cell/battery system through its paces this past February during field maneuvers in the 28th annual Cobra Gold. Cobra Gold is the U.S. military’s long-running multilateral exercise in Thailand. The lightweight, portable fuel cell system was developed by DARPA’s Robust Portable Power Sources program, and its tooth-to-tail implications apply to military and civilian sustainability, too.
