Advanced Tactical Power Generation (ATPG)

Abstract

ATPG directly supports the National Defense Strategy’s priority for increased lethality by prototyping a vehicle centric, mobile, fast forming, secure, and intelligent microgrid. The ATPG prototype provides ad hoc, resilient power for next generation EW, directed energy, and missile defense technologies and will enable: (1) on the move power generation to supply advanced protection system for maneuver forces; (2) improved logistics through reduced fuel consumption; and, (3) reduction in time required to setup, transport, and redeploy power generation systems. In FY 2019, the project completed subsystem component fabrication and testing. Using FY 2019 funds, on-vehicle integration activities continued in FY 2020 followed by integrated system testing. The initial prototype will transition to U.S. Army Product Manager Terminal High Attitude Area Defense for operational testing.
