Abstract
Autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) will likely play an increasing role in future military oceanic and scientific missions as long as power sources meet the systems needs. These needs, ranging from 20 to 200 kWh with minimum time from 20 to 200 hours, will not be satisfied with present batteries such as lead acid, nickel cadmium, and silver oxide zinc. This paper attempts to show present and near term options for electric power sources
