Accelerate. Special 2010 FED Edition

Abstract

The Fuel Efficient Ground Vehicle Demonstrator (FED) Program was initiated by the Office of the Secretary of Defense to address energy conservation needs highlighted by the Defense Science Board s Energy Security Task Force. The overarching program goals are to improve military vehicle technology to reduce fuel consumption on the battlefield, and reduce U.S. ground and expeditionary forces dependency on foreign oil for battlefield mobility. Please take a few moments to review the articles and information we have compiled about the FED Program for you, and learn how this collaborative venture will potentially benefit our Army and U.S. Marine Corps partners with innovative, advanced technology solutions that will make the next generation of military tactical vehicles more maneuverable, sustainable, survivable and fuel efficient.
