Operational Energy Capability Improvement - Non S&T

Abstract

The Operational Energy Capability Improvement—Non S&T (OECI-Non S&T) program is solely dedicated to addressing joint operational energy requirements and providing the solutions pipeline for integrating next-generation power and energy technology across current and emerging Department of Defense (DOD) operational platforms and weapon systems. Investments in OECI-Non S&T transition across multiples services, support current policy objectives, and inform future policy goals. This program supports the Department's initiatives to build a sustainable long-term advantage for an interoperable, optimally powered, and resilient joint force. The OECI-Non S&T program accelerates transitions of operational energy technologies by more than two years. The program focuses on prioritizing first-of-a-kind successes that increase warfighting capabilities by reducing logistical demand and complexity, increasing commonality for interoperability and resilience, and ensures the warfighter has the energy and understanding to effectively use that power across all domains and levels of engagement. OECI-Non S&T validates and demonstrates joint, high priority innovative, and cost-effective prototypes, technologies, and methods supporting DOD Operational Energy Strategy/National Defense Strategy addressing known capability gaps. The prototypes meet power and energy requirements mitigating contested logistics challenges through the reduction of operational energy demand and enabling enterprise-wide power and energy visibility.
