Navy Energy Program

Abstract

This program supports projects to evaluate, adapt, and demonstrate energy related technologies for Navy aircraft and ship operations to: (a) increase fuel-related weapons systems capabilities such as range and time on station; (b) reduce energy costs; (c) apply energy technologies that improve environmental compliance; (d) examine restrictive fuel specification requirements to reduce cost and increase availability worldwide; (e) provide guidance to fleet operators for the safe use of commercial grade or off-specification fuels; and (f) make needed periodic changes to fuel specifications to ensure fuel quality and avoid fleet operating problems. This program supports the achievement of legislated, White House, Department of Defense, and Navy Energy Management Goals. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under ADVANCED COMPONENT DEVELOPMENT AND PROTOTYPES because it includes all efforts necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative models or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.

Change Summary Explanation
Technical: Not applicable. Schedule: 0838 -Generation 4 Protocol Development added to ensure that test protocols maximize lessons learned as efficiently as possible, they are planned to be updated periodically as testing is completed. Advanced BioFuel Lab/Rig Testing extended to 4Qtr 2016. Additional promising production processes have been identified since the last exhibit revision, and fuel for these processes will not be available until 2016. The Generation 3 Protocol Development and the Advanced Biofuel Hardware Testing are delayed until 1QTR FY16. The Generation 4 Protocol Development will be delayed until 1QTR FY18. 0996 - Mission Planning Upgrades schedule was extended to 4Qtr 2019. The program office has identified, through an industry white paper, a potential advanced mission planning technology that was incorporated into the program plan after subject matter expert review. The extension will allow the development and validation of the advanced mission planning technology within the current program.
