Study for comparison and selection of Lithium ion batteries and their optimal configuration for use in Extra Large Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (XLUUV)

It is required to undertake comparative analysis and identify an optimum Lithium lon battery solution to meet requirements of a high-capacity, high-endurance unmanned underwater vehicle. The scope of work would involve identifying, characterizing (by testing) and recommending the most suitable Lithium-ion battery solution for usage onboard XLUUV, Covering the following aspects:
(a) identification of alternative solutions in Lithium-ion batteries 
(b) Comparison of characteristics, including testing 
(c) Identify most appropriate type and configuration
(d) Prepare specifications for selected battery type
(e) Recommend integration interfaces with vehicle
(f) Indicate through-life requirements
