Aircraft batteries are likely to loose their cranking applications unless significant improvements are made in low temperature performance. Lithium batteries are finding widespread use in airborne computer memories and need standardization. Missile battery development activities will emphasize emprovement of thermal batteries. Space batteries will undergo a transition from nickel-cadmium to nickel-hydrogen batteries and later conversion to high energy density system. Development of higher energy battery systems for space is needed to permit flight of higher power systems with current orbit transfer weight capabilities. Special purpose battery development such as for weapons will continue as required and will most probably be conducted under the weapon system development program.
