Combating Terrorism - Technology Development

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) demonstrates and evaluates emerging technologies and systems with high payoff potential to address current technology shortfalls or future capability gaps. Efforts include: hybrid electric power technologies to reduce use of fossil fuel in tactical generators; collaboration with the United States (U.S.) Department of Energy to demonstrate technologies that provide significant gains in ground vehicle energy efficiency; demonstration of ground platform power management, generation, and distribution technologies that increase energy efficiencies and support the integration of advanced future capabilities; and field demonstrations and red teaming activities to stress and assess emerging technologies earlier in the systems development life-cycle, thus reducing potential vulnerabilities and providing an improved understanding of employment risks against potential threats. Work in this PE is complementary to and is fully coordinated with PE 0602618A/Project H80 (Ballistics Technology/Survivability and Lethality Technology), PE 0602601A (Combat Vehicle and Automotive Technology), and 0603005A (Combat Vehicle and Automotive Advanced Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this PE is performed by the Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command (RDECOM).
