Surface Wave Energy Harvesting

Program Manager: Ms. Khine Latt

This program will develop and demonstrate unique generator technologies to extract and convert energy from ocean wave and other object motions. The successful development of new, very low friction electrical generators that convert ocean wave power to electrical energy will enable new concepts of operations for unmanned and manned vehicles, unattended sensors, communications, weapons, and other maritime devices. Tactical and oceanographic surveillance systems requiring extended life operations will also benefit from these renewable and scalable energy sources.
