Army Efforts in Energy Research and Development

Abstract

In this report, the Army Scientific Advisory Panel provides a Task Force on Energy to suggest Research and Development program which might substantially reduce the energy needs of the Army, both under peace-time conditions and during military operations. The Panel suggests that some immediate payoff may be found in the revision of Building Code Specifications to minimize energy requirements; in utilizing waste nuclear products from commercial type reactors for heating purposes; in development of small diesel engines and lightweight military vehicles; and in investigation of simulators for training use and operational tactics evaluation.
