ENERGY CONSERVATION (ADV)

Abstract

The Energy Conservation Advanced Project is designed to enhance lethality, resilience, reach, and sustainment of warfare systems through more effective generation, use and distribution of energy on existing and future surface fleet assets, including Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs), and by developing and transitioning energy and maintenance improvements. This project, managed through NAVSEA 05T, will identify mature, promising energy related technologies through involvement with Fleet representatives, Life-Cycle Managers (LCMs), NAVSEA Technical Warrant Holders, In-Service Engineering Agents (ISEAs), PEOs, Top Management Attention/Top Management Interest (TMA/TMI), Industry, and Academia. The project directly supports Department of Navy goals for agility, resilient force posture, and innovation by maximizing energy to increase operational capability (e.g., extend range, increase time on station, enable high power combat systems). Potential technology areas include Power Generation and Storage (PG&S), Hull Hydrodynamics (HH), Underwater Hull Husbandry (UHH), Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC) Systems, Thermal Management (TM), Main Propulsion Systems (MP), Electrical Systems (EL), Auxiliary Systems (AUX) and Energy Monitoring, Planning, and Assessment (EMP&A). Promising energy related proposals that improve the effective use, conversion, storage, distribution, and control of energy to enable the integration with future weapons and sensors onto platforms are developed each FY for evaluation. Projects are selected based on technical review and business case analysis. Not all proposals are pursued and funding changes between functional categories or fiscal years may occur based on fleet needs, technology maturity level, ship schedule changes, or other factors.
