Nuclear Waste-Powered Drones: DARPA's 'Rads to Watts' Program Aims to Keep UAVs Airborne for 30+ Years

DARPA's 'Rads to Watts' program, backed by $3.37 million in funding, is developing radioisotope betavoltaic batteries that convert nuclear waste directly into electricity. Led by Morgan State University in partnership with Northrop Grumman, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and Project Omega, the initiative targets power densities exceeding 10 W/kg to enable drones, satellites, and other defense systems to operate continuously for decades without refueling. A working prototype is expected by early 2027.
