Robert L. Campbell
Founding Executive Chairman of CAP Water & Power International, Inc.
Abstract
The U.S. Military sees a growing need in its Indo Pacific and other areas of operation for integrated expeditionary water and power systems that minimize logistics tails. The Marine Corps currently has several active development programs underway in response to specific directives from its Installation Command to address serious power and water issues. Safe, secure, sustainable access to low-cost and environmentally friendly power and water is critical for force projection, resilience, base protection, and to address community concerns. The presentation will inform of breakthrough technology developments accomplished by CAP (and now CAPWAPII) in advanced seawater desalination using renewable energy.
