Propulsion and Thermal Systems:
Abstract
This effort researches, designs and evaluates high power density engines and transmission systems needed to offset increasing combat vehicle weights (armor), improved fuel economy (fuel cost & range), and reduced cooling system burden (size, heat rejection). This effort also researches and matures thermal management technologies and systems including heat energy recovery, propulsion and cabin thermal management sub-systems to utilize waste heat energy and meet objective power and mobility requirements on all ground vehicles. Lastly, this effort maximizes efficiencies within propulsion and thermal systems to reduce burden on the vehicle while providing the same or greater performance capability. This effort is coordinated with PE 0603005A.
