Engine Driven Gen Ed

Abstract

This project supports the Tactical Electric Power (TEP) program which is established to develop a Modernized, Standard Family of Mobile Electric Power (MEP) systems to include MEP Generating Sources (MEPGS) and MEP Distribution Systems (MEPDS) 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 systems that are essential to the development and eventual fielding of modernized MEPGS and MEPDS. This project also ensures Army Expeditionary Forces are capable of rapid deployment through aerial delivery initiatives and reduces sustainment requirements, related Combat Support/Combat Service Support (CS/CSS) demands in lift, combat zone footprint, and costs for logistical support. FY19 funds will continue to develop the Management and Distribution Control (MDC) Phase 1: Prime Power Connection Kit (PPCK) and the large Power Distribution Unit (PDU) performance specification to include developmental testing.
