MAGTF CSSE & SE
Abstract
Environmental Control Equipment: The Family of Environmental Control Equipment consists of Environmental Control Units, Field Refrigeration Systems, Integrated Trailer ECU and Generator Systems, and Cooling and Refrigeration Expeditionary Tool Kits. These systems provide required heating, cooling, storage, and servicing for systems throughout the Marine Corps. Current efforts seek to replace all legacy ECUs with systems of higher reliability and higher efficiency using EPA-approved refrigerants, more energy efficient enhanced mobility, easier to repair, and quieter than their predecessors. With environmental control systems consuming 50-70% of tactical electric power in theater, this savings will be a significant contribution to reducing the USMC fuel demand, and lightening the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF). The Warfighter benefit includes a decreased logistics footprint, less reliance on petroleum-derived fuels, increased local energy security, and reduced tanker losses (fewer on the road). The operational imperative to reduce fuel usage will consequently reduce refueling operations and exposing Marines to hazardous fuel convoy operations. Efforts such as research, development, integration testing of (1) Field Refrigeration Systems (FRS) Refrigerant Unit (RU) replacement. This effort seeks to replace legacy RUs in current USMC Large and Small FRSs complying with EPA regulations while increasing efficiency thus reducing overall power requirements/demands. (2) The Enhanced Environmental Control Unit (E2CU) program is the second generation of a family of environmental control units from 9,000 BTU to 60,000 BTU/Hr cooling output. The E2CU program will provide tactical Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) and superior reliability for all MAGTF units in all operational concepts. E2CU will have significant average fuel efficiency improvements over the current ECU family. This has been demonstrated while complying with newer EPA regulations on refrigerants. Mobile Power Equipment: The Family of Mobile Electric Power Equipment consists of command and control systems for power management and distribution (intelligent power management), tactical generators ranging from 2 to 100 kilowatts, power distribution systems, energy storage systems, load banks, floodlights, cabling, and electrician tool kits. This equipment is to procure, field, manage and provide electricity on the battlefield. Systems may be mounted on prime movers, skids or trailers. Systems support maneuver, combat support, and combat service support units requiring tactical power to operate weapons systems, Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) systems, medical and messing facilities, environmental control equipment, and water purification systems. With over 10,000 generators and using diesel engines in the Operating Forces, improving their fuel efficiency and reliability will be a significant contribution to reducing the USMC fuel demand, and lightening the MAGTF. The Warfighter benefit includes a decreased logistics footprint, less reliance on petroleum derived fuels, increased local energy security, and reduced tanker losses (fewer on the road). The operational imperative to reduce fuel usage will consequently reduce refueling operations and exposing Marines to hazardous fuel convoy operations. Efforts encompass research, development, integration, and testing of the following items: (1) Intelligent Power Management Systems (IPMS) which support a robust, scalable solution to interconnect, control, store and distribute power from various sources. As a result, the power requirements will be met in a more efficient manner thus reducing fuel consumption. The IPMS will use multiple electrical inputs from military generators, vehicles and renewable sources. Subsystems include Advanced Digital Control System (ADCS), Energy Storage Unit (ESU), and Intelligent Power Distribution System (IPD). (2) Large Advanced Power Sources (LAMPS) procurement of newer more fuel efficient large format generators (100-200kw) replacing the legacy generators and ensuring commonality with the Army large format generators. Advanced Power Sources: The Advanced Power Sources (APS) efforts will focus on achieving the Marine Corps goal of lightening the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) through reduced logistical fuel resupply needs. The Mobile Electric Hybrid Power Source (MEHPS) Capability Development Document (CDD) addresses the USMC Expeditionary Water and Waste (E2W2) Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) and supports the MAGTF intent to: travel lighter and faster, use less fuel, depend less on the supply chain; and reduce energy production, storage, and distribution requirements. This CDD addresses the Operational Energy (OE) ICD identifying the power and energy criticalities to the Joint Force. The Mobile Electric Hybrid Power System (MEHPS) will focus on hybrid power systems capable of improved fuel efficiency and silent operations in the 0.5-5kW and 10-15kW power range. These systems will be smaller, lighter and more efficient systems that reduce the demand for fossil fuels, extending the Commander's operational reach. These efforts will transition into production of systems that integrate with the Tactical Quiet Generator (TQG), Advanced Medium Mobile Power Sources (AMMPS), and future generator sets. The Battery Maintenance and Storage Shelter effort will focus on developing a modular solution to store and maintain a variety of battery form factors and chemistries. This will provide an environmentally protected, deployable battery maintenance and storage shelter with the capability to maintain and condition deployable batteries that will significantly decrease O&M costs to the Fleet by extending the life of fielded batteries.
