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 matures, integrates and demonstrates energy storage and charging technologies and addresses associated domestic supply chain challenges. ?This Project also continues work 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 combined efforts in this project will have a positive impact toward reducing Army impact on climate change. Work in this Project complements Program Element (PE) 0602145A (Next Generation Combat Vehicle Technology). 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 Project supports the Next Generation Combat Vehicle Army Modernization Priority. Work is performed by the United States Army Futures Command.
