Latest News- Fuel Cells For Military Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Market: Hydrogen fuel cell is expected to lead the Product segment during 2025-2029

The Fuel Cells For Military Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Market is being driven by Rising need for extended flight time

The Fuel Cells For Military Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.2% during 2024 and 2029. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 391.2 million. The Formira Hydrogen-On-Demand technology offers a safe and efficient solution for powering military Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) through fuel cells. This technology synthesizes hydrogen from a safe source, liquid formic acid, which is transferred to a reformer for instant generation. The hydrogen is consumed by the fuel cells in real-time, eliminating the need for storage and reducing flammability risks. The electrolysis process initiates system startup and shutdown, while the fuel cells ensure continuous operation and battery charging. This design delivers high modularity and a compact form factor, making it an ideal choice for military UAV applications.
