Undersea Energy SystemsModel Series: UUV-POWER-SYSTEMS-001
UUV Power Systems
Long-duration cryogenic storage and delivery for unmanned underwater vehicles
System Overview
Sierra Lobo has 25 years of experience with cryogen storage for UUVs, beginning in 2001 with a Small Business Technology Transfer contract funded by the Office of Naval Research. Follow-on systems supported 21- and 42-inch diameter UUVs with liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen storage and delivery to fuel cells.
Designed with mission assurance as a priority, this system leverages Sierra Lobo's engineering heritage to support robust performance in demanding operational environments.
