Ground System Fluids and Fuels

Abstract

This effort focuses on reducing the logistics footprint, improving fuel efficiency, and ensuring mobility by maturing and demonstrating technologies in areas such petroleum quality monitoring, filtration, storage and distribution, hydraulic fluids; enhanced jet fuels and fuel additives, lubricants, oil, powertrain fluids and coolants. Validates candidate engine coolants that extend change intervals, reduce corrosion, and minimize incompatibility issues for military use. Establish performance requirements for new military thermal fluids that enable emerging vehicle electrification technology. Integrate smart fuel metering technology into self-correcting devices that automatically report fuel quantity and conduct fuel filter effectiveness testing to establish fuel particle contamination limits for new fuel monitoring technology.
