Silent overwatch for infantry combat vehicles using fuel cell / alternate fuel based auxiliary power

Source

Source summary

Develop fuel-cell or alternative-fuel auxiliary power for BMP-2 infantry vehicles operating at high altitude. The source explains that cold reduces the useful charge of existing lead-acid batteries when radios and surveillance equipment must run with the main engine off. The requested context is silent, engine-off operation rather than general vehicle electrification.

E-waste Management

Improve e-waste collection, transport, processing and recycling, including recovery and reuse of valuable critical metals. The source frames discarded electrical and electronic equipment as both a disposal problem and a material resource; its historical rankings and recycling statistics are not current verification.
