ANU solar researchers commenced a DSTO funded study.
ANU solar researchers commenced a DSTO funded study to investigate the feasibility of using solar energy harvesting to enhance capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). The research includes an assessment of the feasibility of incorporating the Elongate solar cell technology within the structure of a representative tactical UAV, for example within the wing skin or fuselage skin. The outcomes of this study will be used to inform and direct future research in the applications of solar technologies for environmental-energy extraction on tactical UAVs.
