New Concepts in Energy Conversion and Power Management: The Office of Naval Research, Sea Warfare and Weapons Department (Code 33), Ship Systems and Engineering Division (Code 331) is interested in receiving proposals for basic research initiatives addressing long-range needs for Navy and Marine Corps operations. Scientific study and experimentation directed toward increasing fundamental knowledge and understanding in the field of energy conversion and power management is sought. Farsighted, high-payoff research providing the basis for technological progress in power conversion and power management is of interest, and identifying / characterizing fundamental technology barriers is a key objective. The Naval S&T Strategic Plan and Next Generation Integrated Power System (NGIPS) Technology Development Roadmap are both good sources of information outlining the scope of future Navy interests relative to power and energy. EXCLUSIONS: RESEARCH TOPICS RELATING TO SHIP MAIN ENGINES, NUCLEAR POWER, VEHICLE POWER, PHOTOVOLTAICS, THERMAL MANAGEMENT, BATTERY / CAPACITOR /FUEL CELL ELECTROCHEMICAL CONVERSION, OR THERMOELECTRIC CONVERSION ARE NOT OF INTEREST UNDER THIS BAA.Topic areas of interest are as follows:Electric ship visionFuel efficiencyFuture conversion concepts
