Agile Integration & Demonstration
Abstract
This project demonstrates and evaluates emerging technologies and systems with high payoff potential to address current technology shortfalls or future capability gaps. Efforts include: hybrid electric power technologies to reduce use of fossil fuel in tactical generators; collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)to demonstrate technologies that provide significant gains in ground vehicle energy efficiency; demonstration of ground platform power management, generation, and distribution technologies that increase energy efficiencies and support the integration of advanced future capabilities; and red-teaming to stress and assess emerging systems in key areas for gaining or maintaining overmatch earlier in the life-cycle, thus improving systems by reducing vulnerabilities and providing a more holistic understanding of employment risks in operationally-representative environments and against potential threats. This project supports the Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence (C3I), Ground, Lethality, and Soldier/Squad Portfolios. Work in this project is complementary to and is fully coordinated with Program Element (PE) 0602105A (Materials Technology), PE 0602270A (Electronic Warfare Technology), PE 0602303A (Missile Technology), PE 0602618A (Ballistics Technology), PE 0602705A (Electronics and Electronic Devices), PE 0603005A (Combat Vehicle and Automotive Advanced Technology), PE 0603270A (Electronic Warfare Technology), and PE 0603710A (Night Vision Advanced Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this project is performed by the Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command (RDECOM) and the Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC).
