Engine Driven Gen Ed

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) programs (2kW-800kW 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, MEPMS, MEPSS and MEPDS. This project also supports Army modernization priorities, specifically Combat Support/Combat Service Support (CS/CSS) demands in Network / Command, Control, Communications & Intelligence (C3I), Soldier Lethality, Air/ Missile Defense and Precision Fires and reduces sustainment requirements. PDISE provides reliable, modular design power distribution equipment that is critical to deploying power networks. PDISE will add power distribution > 60kW. The equipment developed will provide an interface for future Onboard Vehicle Power system and Hybrid power systems. FY 2021 funds will support the Prime Power Distribution System (PPDS) testing and development and STEP Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (EMD).
