SENTINEL: Autonomous energy solutions for military camps and tactical operations

SENTINEL addresses the need to shift military energy provision from a high reliance on fossil fuels towards sustainable, resilient, and efficient energy solutions.

The SENTINEL project focuses on improving military camps and operations functioning. It aims at making military camps more efficient and self-reliant, while also easing logistical demands, by providing a flexible and high-capacity energy supply. 

SENTINEL will develop and test 17 essential energy capabilities, including cutting-edge energy technologies, improved mobility, digital energy systems, and smart-grid integration. These features will be tried and tested with armed forces in realistic military situations and different climate conditions to ensure they work effectively in actual operations.
