Operational Energy Capability Improvement RDT&E
Abstract
The Operational Energy Capability Improvement program element focuses on expediting the development and transition, to include testing, of new energy technologies and initiatives to the warfighter with the intent of increasing combat capability and effectiveness while reducing operating costs. This may include developing tools and instruments required to collect energy usage data; collecting and analyzing energy usage data; and improving modeling and simulation of energy considerations. Efforts undertaken in this program element will seek to spur innovation of promising technologies that can be demonstrated and rapidly fielded to reduce energy requirements for current and future military operations with an emphasis on Jointness and interoperability. Potential programs to be expedited may be proposed from within existing research and development efforts, acquisition programs, or new efforts and programs. Most projects are expected to be accomplished within one to five years given the emphasis on technologies with maturing readiness levels.
