Strategic Objectives
• Master the chemistry behind high-density solid-state hydrogen storage.
• Discover how to integrate fuel cells directly into airframe structures.
• Extend mission loiter times from minutes to consecutive days.
• Reduce thermal signatures and mechanical complexity for silent operations.
The Core Challenge
Current UAVs and light aircraft are throttled by the low energy density of batteries and the volatility of liquid hydrogen.
