Lithium-ion Batteries for Underwater Applications: 2020 Thematic Research Report - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Lithium-ion Batteries for Underwater Applications - Thematic Research" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This thematic research report offers a detailed analysis of lithium-ion batteries used on submarines, unmanned underwater vehicles and torpedoes. The research includes insightful industry analysis of the lithium ion batteries and key use cases highlighting how navies around the world have started working on the development and implementation of the technology.

Battery technology has matured significantly during the past two decades as not only the world but also energy has become increasingly mobile. LIBs have grown to become the dominant battery technology across a wide range of applications. It is a disruptive technology that will significantly alter a variety of industry sectors, including consumer electronics, energy, oil & gas, transportation, and maritime. LIBs have the potential to be one of the best sources of power for Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs), torpedoes, and submarines, because their compact designs bring higher efficiency and strengthen reliability for underwater applications.

Report Highlights

  • Batteries have been used on underwater applications for more than a century, for instance, lead-acid batteries have been used in conventionally powered submarines since the end of the 19th century.
  • They are still a common power source onboard submarines. While these batteries have been the standard used in submarines, their dominance is increasingly challenged by a new generation of LIBs that offer better power and energy density.
  • LIBs have the potential to be one of the best sources of power for Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs), torpedoes, and submarines because their compact designs bring higher efficiency and strengthen reliability for underwater applications.
  • While LIBs are becoming more common in UUVs, there are a few combat torpedoes powered lithium-based batteries. LIBs are now generally preferred for exercise torpedoes.
