Millennium Awarded DoD Subcontract

Millennium Cell Inc. of Eatontown, New Jersey, has been awarded a subcontract to develop hydrogen storage systems for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). The prime contractor is Concurrent Technologies Corp. (CTC), which operates DoD’s Fuel Cell Test and Evaluation Center (FCTec) in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.

Millennium Cell’s contract is part of first-year activities under the DoD contract to develop common core power production (C2P2) technology for the Air Force’s Advanced Alternate Power Technology Transformation Office (A2PT2O).

The C2P2 program is based on the use of fuel cell systems as interchangeable power sources for military equipment. Millennium Cell will develop and provide Hydrogen on Demand™ (HOD) system design and key components, which will be fabricated and tested at FCTec. The 5kW HOD system will be capable of providing hydrogen for refueling mobile devices and powering stationary apparatus, among other military applications.

The U.S. Air Force is seeking long-term acquisition of modular, deployable power generation and distribution systems including fuel cells. This program will help to develop application and integration platforms for a variety of stationary, mobile, and aviation support applications for the U.S. military.
