Energy Source with a Passively-Heated Thermal Battery and Missile having the Energy Source

Abstract

An energy source provides electrical energy in a missile, which is configured to heat at least one structural section during an intended flight, so that heat is available there. At least one thermal battery has at least one cell, which contains an electrolyte. The electrolyte is to be heated by the input of heat for providing the electrical energy at the thermal battery. At least one electrolyte can be thermally coupled to the structural section in order to transfer at least part of the heat provided at the structural section during flight from there to the electrolyte. A missile contains the energy source in which at least one electrolyte is thermally coupled to the structural section.
