Ground System Fluids and Fuels Adv Tech
Abstract
This Project matures and demonstrates liquid logistics technologies such as enhanced jet 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 of enhanced jet fuels for ground systems, gear oils, anti-lock brake system- compatible brake fluid, smart bulk fuel metering and monitoring 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. 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 Portfolio. Work is performed by the United States (U.S.) Army Futures Command.
