Hybrid Technologies for Clandestine Electric Reconnaissance Vehicles (CERV)

Abstract

Future Military ground vehicle power trains can benefit from a hybrid-electric drive approach, particularly in packaging flexibility where drive train components can be modular and conveniently distributed. This paper describes the development and testing of a suite of power conversion modules for use in a Tactical Vehicle Hybrid Power System. The primary technical advancement goals of this effort are the addition of silent mobility and the addition of exportable electric power. Other potential benefits include increased fuel efficiency, reduced drive train weight, complexity, and manufacturing cost, and increased mission capabilities.
