Abstract :
An attempt is made to heighten the photovoltaics community´s awareness of the US Department of Defense´s (DODs) PV Review Committee, an organized group of specialists within the three DOD military services and the US Coast Guard who can be approached concerning PV opportunities. The various PV military applications already installed and trends of PV use within the military are summarized. It is pointed out that the trend within the military is toward increased use of photovoltaics
