- Description
- The goal of this program is to develop and demonstrate innovative ultra-lightweight JP-8 fueled generator technology that is single-person portable for Marine Corps reconnaissance missions and remote sensors. Many missions in remote locations are currently limited by the amount of power that can be carried on foot and/or left in place for unattended equipment operation. Advanced rechargeable batteries are anticipated to significantly reduce the weight of batteries for Marine Corps Expeditionary units. However, the lack of a sufficiently energetic power source that is not tied to a wall outlet or vehicle prevents on-foot expeditionary units from taking advantage of rechargeable battery technologies in the field. The need to send personnel units (on foot or by vehicle) out to service batteries in remotely fielded sensors and equipment presents significant logistics and safety burdens and high cost. A 500-1000 Watt single person-portable, compact, lightweight, low signature (acoustic, thermal, and magnetic), JP-8 fueled generator would enable a significant reduction in the weight and cost of fielded batteries for expeditionary units and longer-term operation of remote sensors, limited only by the size of the fuel tank.
