Advanced Non-Primary Power Systems:
Abstract
This effort researches, investigates, conducts experiments and validates Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) technologies such as modular/scalable engine based APUs, fuel cell reformer systems to convert JP-8 to hydrogen, sulfur tolerant JP-8 fuel cell APUs and novel engine based APUs for military ground vehicle and unmanned ground systems. This effort also determines inputs for APU interface control documents, as well as investigates solutions for reducing APU acoustic signature for silent operation during mounted surveillance missions. This effort investigates the use of small engines and JP-8 fuel cell systems for use as prime power solutions for unmanned ground systems.
