## What project 9999 buys

Project C391: Cargo drone advanced batteries. Project CA31: Modernizing Shore Power Infrastructure The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division is responsible for the research, development and Test and Evaluation (RDTE) of Unmanned Air Systems and all the subsystems that are needed for them to operate successfully. Group 3 Logistics UAS's are a critical focus area and heavily dependent on lithium-Ion Battery packs currently manufactured outside the US. These battery solutions do not meet the quality, reliability and safety needed to meet emerging mission requirements safely in a maritime environment. Design, develop, fabricate, test and integrate ultra-high-capacity batteries into emerging logistics UAS platforms is a critical enabler to meeting emerging operational requirements in a contested environment. This program coordinates battery developers and fabricators, technical SMEs across the DON and UAS designers/builders to produce a cost and time effective common solution applicable to multiple systems to meet operational and safety requirements. This funding provides a program increase dedicated to modernizing shore power infrastructure.

**R-3 lines of work:** Product Development; Management Services.

## What is NOT on this page

Congressional marks, the R-2 mission description and acquisition strategy, the industry vs government split of the whole request, and related program elements are recorded at **program-element** grain — an NDAA mark lands on a PE, never on a project.
