Technology and RDT&E - An ARMY Perspective

Abstract

TARDEC recognizes the growing energy challenges of the Warfighter and is acting to meet the operational energy goals of the Army. Research on advanced vehicle power technologies for vehicle platforms underway with collaborative efforts with other DOD labs as well as DOE Significant progress has been made in the area of hybrid electric propulsion analysis. Hybrid electric propulsion strategically aligns with Operational Energy Strategy. Hybrid electric provides additional mission capabilities. Optimized hybrid electric can achieve fuel economy savings over various drive cycles. Reliability and Durability need to be proven. In the right applications, it has good cost-benefit, provides capabilities not otherwise available and fits customers needs.
