Ground System Fluids and Fuels Adv Tech
Abstract
This Project matures and demonstrates liquid logistics technologies such as alternative fuels, lubricants, oils, powertrain fluids, coolants, bulk fluid treatment, monitoring, metering, storage, and distribution in support of established Army regulations and requirements. This Project matures products and technologies to improve fuel efficiency, meet new hardware fluid requirements, modernize fluids, ensure bulk fluid meets quality requirements, and provide bulk fluid asset visibility, to optimize logistics and reduce logistics requirements. This Project executes the demonstration and qualification of candidate alternative fuels, gear oils, anti-lock brake system-compatible brake fluid, smart bulk fuel metering and monitoring products and technologies. This Project matures liquid logistics products and technologies that are critical enablers for multi-domain operations requiring semi-independent operations to enable dispersed operations to extend operational reach, prolong endurance and allow freedom of action for the Joint Force. All FY 2020 adjustments align program financial structure to Army Modernization Priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy. 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 Army Science and Technology Ground and Next Generation Combat Vehicle Portfolio. Work is performed by the U.S. Army Futures Command. Work in this PE complements PE 0602114A (Ground Technology).
