This effort will support the Tactical Idle Reduction for Heavy Tactical Vehicles Technology Transition Initiative (TTI) Project. The resulting contract will require the contractor to design, develop, fabricate, test, and integrate two (2) idling reduction auxiliary power unit (APU) prototypes and two (2) idling reduction environmental control unit (ECU) prototypes onto two (2) M915A5 or equivalent tractor truck vehicles (provided as GFE). The fully-integrated vehicles shall then be demonstrated at a minimum of one (1) operational test and at a minimum of two (2) operational demonstrations for the user-community.

Option two (2) The contractor shall deliver an additional four (4) APU prototypes and four (4) ECU prototypes for integration by PM HTV onto M915A5 production verification test vehicles, and shall include all interface / ancillary equipment needed for field evaluations (three would potentially be used for performance and endurance tests while the other three would potentially be used for live fire test and evaluation). Additionally, the contractor shall provide for four (4) sets of spare consumables to be used in the field evaluations.
