The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, better known as DARPA, recently submitted a request for information that shows the agency is interested in wirelessly recharging battery-powered drones in the air.
DARPA released a request for information explaining the details of what the secretive organization would like to see in an electricity-charging prototype. “The Department of Defense has explored the capability of wireless energy transfer across multiple applications. While wireless energy transfer technology has begun adoption in small applications in the commercial space, the capability within the wide range of military applications has only been marginally explored,” DARPA stated.
“Multiple technologies related to wireless energy transfer are being researched and developed to sustain the operations of unmanned aerial systems. These UAS could be designed to receive…
