Abstract
This line supports the Army Network Modernization Strategy Line of Effort #4, Command Post. This line develops the capabilities to improve power generation and distribution within the Army Command Posts which in turn reduces Command Post sustainment requirements. This project supports the Tactical Electric Power (TEP) program (Generators and Associated Equip) 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), MEP Storage Systems (MEPSS) and MEP Management Systems (MEPMS) for all Services throughout the Department of Defense IAW DoDI 4120.11. 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 Network / Command, Control, Communications & Intelligence (C3I), lift, combat zone footprint, and costs for logistical support. FY 2020 funds will continue to develop the Power Distribution Illumination Systems Electrical (PDISE) Expansion which includes the Prime Power Connection Kit (PPCK), and Large Advanced Mobile Power Sources (LAMPS) Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD), which includes power generation and distribution developmental testing. Funding supports modernization of the current TEP sources by investigating technology insertions that improve efficiency, reliability, maintainability, and interoperability in support of the Army Operating Concept and Multi-Domain Battle. Funding also supports developing initial prototypes to enable refinement of Operational Requirements and early user feedback to support future sustainment and operational energy concepts.
