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
Schedule: 0838 - Fuel Quality/Develop Operational and Laboratory Techniques was added from 1Q FY18 through 4Q FY22 to improve/reduce cost of Naval tactical fuel quality analysis. 0838 - FY 2017 by $4.873M. Due to reduction Generation 4 Protocol was removed from schedule and Alternative Fuel Evaluations will complete at the end of FY17. Advanced BioFuel Testing ended 2nd QTR of FY17. Evaluate and Maintain compatibility with commercial aviation fuel specs was added as the program continues to support commercial compatibility. 0996 - FY 2017 by $14.586M. Due to reduction Mission Planning Upgrade was ended QTR2 of FY17. The FY 2018 funding request was reduced by $0.937 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. Technical: Not applicable. Financial: $25.000 million reduction due to a shift in Department of the Navy (DoN) priorities and an urgent requirement to address emergent, critical unfunded requirements in FY17 . The reduction aligns Energy program funding to the previous amounts executed prior to FY2011.
