This paper has presented the rationale and needs for an advanced solar array/battery power system to address the higher power military space mission needs of the 1990-2000 time period. Near-term development goals should center on the 5-30 kilowatt electric power range. Advanced solar power systems with high energy density electrochemical energy storage are the most viable options for meeting these requirements in a reliable, cost effective manner. It is now timely to take advantage of recent Air Force and NASA advanced component technologies to affect the design, build and conclusive demonstration of an Integrated Technology Advanced Power System. Such a system would enable the electrical power requirements of several important, early 1990 Air Force Missions, to be met at reduced risk and minimum development lead-time. An ITAPS Advanced Development Program would also provide important advanced component technology spinoffs for 'block change' application to present Air Force satellite systems. The benefits of the technology spinoffs would be enhanced reliability, survivability, increased power at fixed weight or reduced weight at fixed power.
