Non-Primary Power Systems:
Abstract
This effort will exploit, mature, and demonstrate Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) technologies such as a small modular/scalable engine based APUs, fuel cell reformer system to convert JP8 to hydrogen, sulfur tolerant JP8 fuel cell APU, and novel engine based APUs for military ground vehicles and unmanned ground systems. This effort will also create interface control documents for simplified integration of current and future APUs, improve reliability to reduce logistic burden, as well as reduce acoustic signature for silent operation. Additionally, this effort will exploit JP8 fuel cell and engine APUs to optimize prime power in unmanned ground systems. Coordinated work is also being conducted under Program Elements (PE) 0602601A , Project H91.
