Explanation not trustworthy.
"Robojelly could eventually assist within underwater rescue operations."

It's clear that "rescue operations" is NOT why this is being developed. If it were, it would not need to mimic a jellyfish. Definately being developed for stealth operations.

Something missing here
This isn't a perpetual motion machine. Energy must be stored in it in some form. Is something in the platinum black powder depleted as it reacts with water?

Agree on both points.
This looks like a perfect stealth sensor buoy that could have a hundred uses.

The reactant generating the power has to deplete at some point.

Which means a self destruct should be built in as well if being used in covert ops.
