Propulsion and Thermal Technologies:
Abstract
This effort matures high power density engines and transmission systems needed to offset increasing combat vehicle weights (armor), increased electrical power generation needs (onboard communications, surveillance and exportable power), improved fuel economy (fuel cost and range), enhanced mobility (survivability), and reduced cooling system burden (size and heat dissipation). This effort also matures thermal management including heat energy recovery, propulsion and cabin thermal management sub-systems to utilize waste heat energy and meet objective power and mobility requirements on combat and tactical vehicles. Lastly, this effort maximizes efficiencies within propulsion and thermal systems to reduce thermal burden on the vehicle while providing the same or greater performance capability. This effort is executed in coordination with PE 0604115A (Technology Maturation Initiatives).
