Research Needed for More Compact Intermittent Combustion Propulsion Systems for Army Combat Vehicles. Volume 2. Appendices.

Abstract

Because of the unique performance requirements of combat vehicles, it is not possible to achieve the required propulsion system power density by adaptation of commercial engines; the Army must ensure that the research and development required to achieve the needed propulsion system power density is accomplished.
