Platform Electrification and Mobility Adv Tech
Abstract
This Project matures, integrates and demonstrates technologies to electrify both manned and unmanned Next Generation Combat Vehicle platforms. Electrification of these platforms will enable advanced onboard electrified payloads such as directed energy weapons, reduce battlefield fuel consumption, and provide new capabilities such as burst acceleration, extended silent mobility and silent watch. This Project will also mature, integrate and demonstrate technologies to increase electric power such as a high voltage/temperature generator and high power/ temperature power electronics as well as technologies to reduce power demands including composite rubber band track and adaptive hydro-strut suspension. 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 electrification technology that enables 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. The cited research is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Research in this Project supports the Next Generation Combat Vehicle Army Modernization Priority. Research is performed by the United States (U.S.) Army Futures Command. This work complements Program Element (PE) 0602145A (Next Generation Combat Vehicle Technology).
