Dual Tech Taxonomy 1.0
Energy & Propulsion
Energy & Propulsion (EP06)
Energy & Propulsion fuels the machinery, vehicles, and infrastructure powering modern life, linking advanced energy generation with efficient movement. This domain spans electric grids, renewables, battery tech, hybrid propulsion systems, and rocket engines that carry payloads into orbit. Commercial players strive for cleaner, more cost-effective solutions, while defense organizations demand secure and robust energy supplies for global operations. Balancing sustainability, reliability, and performance, Energy & Propulsion drives innovation that underpins economic growth and mission-critical readiness.
Efficiency Monitoring (EM16)
Efficiency Monitoring (EM16) centers on tracking and analyzing energy use across vehicles, facilities, or systems. By identifying inefficiencies, automating compliance, and enabling real-time interventions, it helps commercial entities reduce overhead and carbon footprints, while ensuring defense operations maintain optimal resource readiness under varying mission demands.
Information & Analytics
Advanced Energy Management (EG26)
Advanced Energy Management (EG26) leverages digital control, AI-driven forecasting, and microgrids to optimize power flow and resource allocation. By integrating distributed generation and storage, commercial enterprises minimize costs and downtime, while defense installations secure robust energy systems that withstand both natural disruptions and mission-critical demands.
Data & Analytics
Propulsion Modules (PM36)
Propulsion Modules (PM36) address space-based engines and thrusters designed for orbital insertion, deep-space travel, and reusability. By enhancing propulsion efficiency—through ion drives, chemical engines, or in-orbit refueling—commercial satellite operators extend mission lifespans, while defense missions achieve cost-effective, scalable access to contested or distant orbital terrains.
Space
Hybrid Flight Systems (HY46)
Hybrid Flight Systems (HY46) combine electric and combustion power for aircraft, optimizing performance, fuel economy, and emissions. By harnessing batteries or fuel cells alongside traditional turbines, commercial aviation cuts operational costs and noise pollution, while defense applications benefit from extended range, stealthier operation, and robust fallback propulsion.
Air
Hybrid Ground Systems (HV56)
Hybrid Ground Systems (HV56) combine multiple propulsion methods (e.g., electric, fuel cell, or advanced combustion) to improve land vehicle efficiency, range, and resilience. By blending alternative energy sources with smart load balancing and modular design, commercial fleets achieve lower operating costs and emissions, while defense forces gain dependable, long-range mobility in diverse terrain.
Land
Hybrid Aquatic Systems (HQ66)
Hybrid Marine Systems (HQ66) integrate diesel, electric, battery, and other propulsion technologies to enhance seagoing efficiency, reduce emissions, and improve reliability. By blending multiple power sources, commercial shipping benefits from lower fuel costs and regulatory compliance, while naval or coast guard vessels gain extended range, stealth capabilities, and mission flexibility.
