To further the Army’s goal of battery standardization, the Army has published MIL-STD-3078, Interoperability Standard for Batteries Utilized in Army Equipment. MIL-STD-3078 defines the battery types which are to be used for new system design, and contains a list of military batteries and select commercial of the shelf (COTS) batteries. These batteries were carefully chosen for many factors including their open designs, versatility, and prevalence within the existing supply system.

By prioritizing the use of established battery systems, system manufacturers can streamline their research and development processes and reduce costs by offloading battery development and focusing on system performance. Additionally, through the Army’s collaboration with battery manufacturers, there will be a focus on continuous improvement to keep these batteries at the forefront of technological advancements while ensuring backwards compatibility.
