The US Department of Defense said that 20 teams have qualified for the Wearable Power competition that will be carried out over the next four days. The $1 M prize will be awarded to the team that best meets the requirements of providing 20 watts of power per hour for 96 hours and weighs less then 4 kilograms. The twenty teams were chosen after a review of their concepts for safety and to see if they could be attached to a standard vest. DoD is trying to develop an alternative to all the AA batteries soldiers are forced to carry to work their advanced electronics.
