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
The FY 2016 funding request was reduced by $12.5 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. Technical: Not applicable. Schedule: 0838 - Continue Advanced BioFuel Lab/Rig Testing thru 4Qtr 2020. Lab and rig testing is the prerequisite of the qualification program and should continue through 2020. Multiple new production processes have been identified and are in early development; if these processes are successful, they will require initial Navy evaluation in out-years.
