International SeaPerch Challenge
Elementary School Middle School High School College
Creating the STEM Pipeline
• Middle School and High School
• 200 Competing Teams came from as far away as New Zealand
• Competition at UMASS Dartmouth
• Challenge to maneuver through an obstacle course and lift objects
• Students began with baseline machines and modified within cost constraints to meet the challenge

Energy for Increased Endurance
Battery manufacturing process drives inherent hazard:
– Potential of latent internal short from foreign object (i.e., metal particles associated with manufacturing) can never be eliminated
Manufacture-driven hazard
Flammable/Explosive gases and fire
Integration of Li-Ion Technology aboard submarines is being achieved via Prevention/Detection/Mitigation
Prevent
▪ Propagation resistant battery architectures to mitigate against latent cell defects
▪ Ability to detect battery internal short before reaching critical stage
NEED:
SYSTEM CONCEPT: Couple hydrogen and oxygen source with proton exchange
(PEM) fuel cell to power UUV
GOAL: Enhance mission capability over Li-ion batteries (2X+)
Advanced Energy OpportunityOverall submarine

Technology
• Direct conversion of thermal energy to acoustic energy via Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs)
• CNT thermoacoustic transducer (thermophone) possesses small form factor with broadband capability
