From page 11...
... The hybrid electric power system will enhance the warilghting capability of Army vehicles in many ways, including improved acceleration, stealth capabilities for silent mobility/silent watch, energy weapons for increased lethality, and enhanced armor protection for increased survivability. Because military requirements for hybrid vehicles (e.g., pulsed power requirements)

... This report, which presents the committee's analysis of the information gathered in the workshop, devotes a chapter to each of these six emerging technology areas. In each case, the committee attempted to identify the key technical challenges in each area, performance metrics for the technologies, and research priorities for the future.
