Army Invests in Testing Facilities to Support Current and Future Technologies

Abstract

The U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC) has played a critical role in developing a hybrid electric powerpack designed to meet all anticipated Future Combat Systems (FCS) Manned Ground Vehicle power requirements. TARDEC also has been instrumental in developing the testing facilities, expertise, and processes necessary to ensure that each powerpack component, and the powerpack as an integrated whole, will answer de facto requirements for each FCS ground vehicle variant that eventually goes into production.
