Storage landscape
50+storage vendors mapped
Map energy storage
We profiled energy dense options across 5 technology types, from flywheels to supercapacitors.
Case Study · Technology Landscape
Powering and cooling future naval weapons.
A defense contractor needed power and thermal solutions for future naval weapon systems such as high power lasers and radars. We mapped energy dense storage and advanced cooling technologies and added expert insight on each.
The Client
The client is a defense contractor. It wanted insight to develop novel technologies for future defense applications.
The Challenge
New weapons.
Power they can handle.
Prescouter was asked to map high power system architectures, energy dense storage and thermal management strategies that could support new naval capabilities such as lasers, microwaves and electromagnetic guns.
-
Storage
Energy dense storage
Pulse discharge and fast recovery.
-
Cooling
Thermal management
Removing heat from high power loads.
-
Architecture
Power architectures
Systems that do not exist yet.
Our Approach
Building two landscapes from desk research and experts.
Cooling landscape
30+cooling vendors mapped
Map advanced cooling
We profiled 3 cooling technology types, including phase change materials and dielectric coolants.
Expert insight
Expertson mechanisms and safety
Test the options
Experts covered mechanisms, applicability, safety protocols and outlook for the leading technologies.
The Outcome
A roadmap for high power systems.
Prescouter delivered landscapes of 50+ energy storage vendors across 5 technology types and 30+ cooling vendors across 3 types, backed by expert insight. The client is using them to advance its technical roadmap, with direct impact on its technology development.
