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
FY 2017 decrease in Navy Energy RDTEN by $0.081M as required for the Department of the Navy to comply with the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015. Schedule: 0838 - Conduct Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation in Support of Field-Identified Deficiencies from 1Qtr 2017 through 4Qtr 2021. This work has been a basic objective of the program since its inception, but the efforts have been minimized for the last 6 years as alternative fuels test and qualification took priority. As test and qualification activities begin to slow, the program will focus on field-identified deficiencies. Technical: Not applicable.
