The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory awarded a $271,346 Project Grant to Stanford University under the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800). The grant supports research to develop real-time battery health monitoring techniques for electric aerial vehicles using built-in ultrasonic methods. The two-year project will investigate ultrasonic monitoring of lithium-ion batteries to detect degradation and predict remaining useful life. This work aligns with the Defense Research Sciences Program's goals of maintaining Air Force technological superiority through foundational research in scientific areas relevant to its needs and preventing technological surprise.
