Abstract

This project supports the Tactical Electric Power (TEP) program which is established to develop a Modernized, Standard Family of Mobile Electric Power Generating Sources (MEPGS) for all Services throughout the Department of Defense. Building on the device/component evaluations conducted in PE 0603804A project G11, this project supports the system development and demonstration of a series of innovative mobile electric power sources that are essential to the development and eventual fielding of modernized MEPGS from 0.5 kilowatt (kW) to 840kW. These sources will ensure compliance with federally mandated environmental statutes and significantly lower noise and thermal signatures (thereby improving battlefield survivability), improve fuel and electrical efficiency, reduce weight, enhance portability, improve reliability, availability and maintainability, and reduce operational and support costs. FY16 funds will prepare the Management and Distribution Control (MDC)/Microgrids performance specification and continue the Large Advanced Mobile Power Sources (LAMPS) EMD phase. FY16 funding will also support the Small Tactical Electric Power (STEP) EMD phase. Funding in FY17 will close out the LAMPS EMD phase, continue MDC Power Distribution Unit (PDU) EMD phase and begin the STEP EMD phase.
