Platform Electrification and Mobility Tech

Abstract

This Project researches and develops advanced power and energy technologies for combat ground vehicles that are necessary for parallel hybrid, series hybrid and all- electric vehicle systems. This Project also continues the Advanced Vehicle Power Technology Alliance (AVPTA) between the Department of Energy and the Department of the Army with a focus on energy storage for electrification, providing an emphasis on developing advanced technologies that enable military ground vehicles to become significantly more energy efficient. The Alliance is chartered to accelerate the conceptualization and transition into deployment of inventive and creative energy-saving concepts that the Nation needs to achieve energy security. This Project researches energy storage technologies in support of lighter military vehicles which are more fuel-efficient and expeditionary with superior mobility and protection of both vehicles and occupants. The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this effort is performed by the United States (US) Army Futures Command. Work in this Project supports the Army Modernization Priority Next Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV). Work in this Project is coordinated with PE 0603462A (Next Generation Combat Vehicle Advanced Technology).
