Mobile Tactical Electric Power System Operational Analysis.
Abstract
The objective of this report is to document a preliminary military operational analysis which identifies the critical parameters and factors necessary for detailed assessments of Army mobile tactical electric power requirements and for hardware effectiveness analyses of mobile tactical electric power systems. The report includes a detailed description of a methodology to estimate a unit's power requirements which in turn defines the needed generator output. Further, the report addresses data base requirements for implementation of the developed analysis. The US Army's significant tactical mobile electric power needs are presently being met by a large number and wide variety of electric power generators. Changes in electric power consumption are anticipated as a result of ongoing efforts to modernize the force. In addition, there is a requirement to reduce the logistics burdens associated with tactical power production. For these reasons, the Army is assessing the adequacy of current tactical power sources, and is exploring opportunities to improve their utilization. To support this program, extensive combat operations and hardware effectiveness analyses must be made.
