WATER AND PETROLEUM DISTRIBUTION - ED

Abstract

Description: This project provides all services with ample supply of clean fuel and water. The Army has the mission to supply fuel for all land-based forces, including the Marines and the Air Force, and must supply bulk drinking water to the soldiers. This System Development and Demonstration (SDD) program enables the Army to improve maneuver sustainment operations to meet the demands of the Stryker Brigade Combat Teams and Future Force. The mission includes receiving and transferring petroleum from trucks, ships, pipelines and permanent and temporary storage facilities; moving petroleum from storage to and within corps and division areas; fuel quality surveillance testing; and dispensing in support of tactical operations, including rapid refueling of aircraft. The mission covers purification, storage, distribution, and quality control of water. The Army cannot fight without clean fuel and water. These Research and Development (R&D) missions support the development and enhancement of rapidly deployed Petroleum and Water equipment which enables the Army to achieve its vision by providing a highly mobile and self-sustaining system in hostile theaters of operation.
