TARDEC's Power and Energy Vision

Abstract

The Army is confronting power and energy challenges from national security issues related to foreign oil consumption, (including) the monetary and human costs of oil for DoD operations and climate change, with innovation in technology and the evolution of the current DoD fleet to more efficient combat systems. Driven by these challenges, TARDEC is taking on initiatives to lead the Army on fuel and energy with advancements in fuel efficiency, power management and an examination of how significant changes can be made from a life-cycle perspective.
