Combat Vehicle Mobilty
Abstract
This project matures and demonstrates advanced mobility and onboard electrical power technologies for combat and tactical vehicles to enable lightweight, agile, deployable, fuel efficient and survivable ground vehicles. Technologies include advanced propulsion, engines, transmissions, power, and electrical components and subsystems. This project will also mature and demonstrate advanced mechanical and electrical power generation systems to increase available onboard electrical power to enable future capabilities such as next generation communications and networking, improvised explosive device (IED) jamming systems and next generation sensor devices can be supported on combat and tactical vehicles. This project also matures and demonstrates water and fuel logistics technologies. Work in this project supports the Army Science and Technology Ground Maneuver Portfolio. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this project is performed by Tank Automotive Research, Development, and Engineering Center (TARDEC), Warren, MI, in conjunction with Army Research Laboratory (ARL), Adelphi, MD.
