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 across the Army Modernization priorities IAW the Army Futures Command Power and Battery Strategy. The main efforts are supporting modernizations 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 IAW the Power and Battery Strategy, specifically Combat Support/Combat Service Support (CS/CSS) demands in Network / Command, Control, Communications & Intelligence (C3I), Soldier Lethality, Air & Missile Defense and Long Range Precision Fires and reduces sustainment requirements. PDISE provides reliable, modular design power distribution equipment that is critical to deploying power networks. PDISE Expansion will add power distribution > 60kW. The equipment developed will provide an interface for Large Power Distribution Systems (LPDS) and Prime Power Distribution Systems (PPDS) as well as future Onboard Vehicle Power systems, Hybrid and Storage power systems. STEP is a modernization program for existing legacy small power generation systems, that will provide expeditionary, durable and reliable tactical electric power capabilities less than 5kW, to support operations in the austere environments of today's battlefield. The STEP program is a critical enabler to the Army modernization priorities under Army Futures Command Soldier Lethality Cross Function Team (CFT) and Network CFT. It will be power sources for Soldier borne sensors, lasers and optics. FY 2022 funds will support prototyping and engineering, manufacturing and development efforts for the STEP Lightweight System, STEP 3kW and the PDISE Expansion power distribution solution.
