Novel Propulsion Research
Abstract
This effort performs research to assess and evaluate the optimal electrified propulsion system configuration for future military tactical and combat ground vehicle applications. This effort will investigate and model parallel hybrid-electric, series hybrid-electric, fuel cell and all-electric propulsion systems for the future military vehicle applications. Research is required to understand how electrified propulsion may impact future fleet mobility requirements, soldier operational scenarios, operational energy reduction, enablement of future lethality and defensive systems, sensors, and ancillary electrical loads. Novel propulsion systems such as fuel cells, high speed diesel engines, mega-watt generators, quad sprocket tracked and multi-drive wheeled mobility, as well as the logistic support and infrastructure requirements will be investigated.
