The need to supply sufficient electricity to Marines on the battlefield is the overarching objective of the USMC Expeditionary Energy Strategy. Researchers at NRL's Electronics Science and Technology Division are developing flexible, lightweight and efficient photovoltaic cells that will reduce energy supply needs and increase the effectiveness of forward deployed forces.

NRL scientists have discovered a previously unreported solar feature - Coronal Cells - where high-temperature coronal emission is confined to discrete plumes that extend upward from unipolar concentrations of magnetic flux. They think future studies of these regions will lead to an improved understanding of magnetic field line reconnection at the boundaries of coronal holes, and how these changes are transmitted outward into the solar wind.
