The application of advanced power supply system is increasing with a significant rise in advanced military equipment and weapon developments. The growth in the modern military vehicles and weapons market will ultimately drive the growth for fuel cell technologies. A fuel cell is an electrochemical cell which converts the chemical energy of the fuel (often hydrogen) and the oxidizing agent (often oxygen) into electricity through a pair of redox reactions. The major potential application for the fuel cells in military are hybrid electric vehicles and man-portable power. In addition, the rising demand for UAVs in military operations has created significant demand for the fuel cells. Companies such as General Motors (GM) defense, Bloom Energy, and Cummins Inc., among others are strongly developing the technology meeting customers demand.
