Water And Petroleum Distribution - Ed

Abstract

This project provides all services with ample supply of clean fuel and water, supporting all types of missions. The Army has the mission to supply fuel for all land-based forces, including the Marines and the Air Force, and for supplying bulk drinking water to Soldiers. These Engineering and Manufacturing Development programs enable the Army to improve maneuver sustainment operations to meet the demands of the all Army units and the 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. This project also supports development and analysis of technologies designed to increase survivability of petroleum and water systems that may operate or be transported in hostile environments. The mission covers water purification and waste water treatment, reutilization, storage, distribution, alternative water source acquisition, disposal, and quality control. 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 systems in hostile joint operations areas. New start programs include; Tactical Fuel Distribution System (TFDS), Bulk Fuel Distribution System (BFDS), Petroleum Expeditionary Analysis Kit (PEAK), Water Bison, and Water Storage and Distribution System (WSDS) 40,000 gallon and 100,000 gallon sets. "Funding supports modernization of the current Petroleum and Water System fleets by investigating technology insertions including, but not limited to: condition based maintenance, vetronics, Victory Architecture, autonomous operations and other emerging technologies. Funding also supports developing initial prototypes to enable refinement of Operational Requirements and early user feedback to support future sustainment and operational movement operating concepts".
