Water And Petroleum Distribution - Ed
Abstract
This project supports engineering and manufacturing development efforts as well as the Production Qualification Testing (PQT) and First Article Testing (FAT) efforts to provide 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 programs enable the Army to improve maneuver sustainment operations to meet the demands of 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 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. Programs funded on this Project includes: Tactical Fuel Distribution System (TFDS), Bulk Fuel Distribution System (BFDS), Petroleum Expeditionary Analysis Kit (PEAK), Water Bison and Water Bison Light, Water Storage and Distribution System (WSDS) , 3K Tactical Water Purification System (TWPS), Early Entry Fluid Distribution System (E2FDS) and Pipeline Trace Tool - Software Development, Modular Tactical Retail Refueling System (MTRRS), and Load Handling System (LHS) - Compatible Water Tank-rack System (HIPPO), Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear (CBRN) Water Hauler. This Project provides for the modernization of 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 and testing initial prototypes, and production representative articles to enable refinement of Operational Requirements and early user feedback to support future sustainment and operational movement operating concepts. Funding supports non-traditional and middle tier acquisitions to include Other Transaction Authority (OTA) and 804. FY 2025 Base RDTE $2.618 million provides for Tactical Fuel Distribution System (TFDS) Production Qualification Testing (PQT) closeout and Chemical Biological Radiation Nuclear (CBRN) Water Hauler Production Qualification Testing (PQT). 3k Tactical Water Purification System (3k TWPS) will achieve Milestone 'C', award Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) hardware and start Production Qualification Testing (PQT). Water Bison will award Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) hardware and start Production Qualification Testing (PQT) in FY 2025.
