摘要: Abstract : We provide an overview of recent US Naval Research Laboratory research and development on multifunctional structure-power materials/components for enhancing the performance unmanned systems through reduction parasitic (unifunctional) structure mass/volume. Design rules tools composite materials three concepts: structure-battery, autophagous (self-consuming) structure-fuel, solar-skin will be examined. The potential benefits technical challenges associated with highlighted along current technological thrusts possible breakthroughs that can significantly advance state-of-art.
