Fire Resistant Fuel Program Update

Abstract

Objectives of the Fire Resistant Fuel (FRF) program are: 1) developing new emulsified fuel formulations; 2) investigating anti-mist additives to diminish the fuel fireball; 3) determining the effect of FRF on vehicle and equipment; designing field blending system for producing the FRF; and 4) determining overall effectiveness of the FRF based on JP-8, the currently used battlefield fuel.
