Electric Propulsion (EP): (1) Decreases spacecraft fuel fraction; (2) Increases spacecraft capability; (3) Enables new missions. USAF has selected Hall thrusters for intensive development due to optimum I(sub sp) for many AF missions. Integration issues are a concern, and the focus of current research.
