10. 10 On-Board Power Activities  Purpose is to prepare USMC: For future power needs / requirements For potential future acquisition programs For assisting the FMF when they take action on their own  MCSC efforts at this time are toward supporting users / buyers with: Performance data & cost data Market availability to deliver via GSA schedule / NSN’d items  Limited User’s Evaluation  22 nd MEU (Deployment) - 4 systems in FY04  Integration, Power, Reliability & Qualification Testing (3 vendors) Completed at Aberdeen Test Center  Power Inverter Testing  Currently underway at NSWC-Crane and Dayton T. Brown  Results in Summer 2005  Durability Testing (single system)  Nevada Automotive Test Center  Results in Summer 2005

11. 11 On-Board Power Test Results

12. 12 On Board Power Path Forward  This is USMC decision & direction only  Joint PM Power and PM Motor Transport decision  Aberdeen Test Center Reports delivered  C.E. Neihoff System – Rpt # ATC-8929, Feb 2005  Raven Technology – Rpt # ATC-8930, Feb 2005  AuraGen System – Rpt # ATC-8933, Feb 2005  Release Authority: Marine Corps Systems Command  No formal requirement exists  No formal source selection was made  But when asked, our recommendation will be to utilize the C. E. Neihoff system when 5-8 kW of on-board AC power is needed  C.E. Neihoff system will be taken to NATC for durability tests  USMC is continuing DC-AC Inverter evaluations

13. 13 DC-AC Inverter Evaluation  Steady-state load test.  Output loading set to 0%, 50%, and 100% of full load  Power factor set to 0.8 leading and unity  Dynamic load test  Overload test  Steady-state line regulation test  Environmental testing IAW MIL-PRF-28800  Temperature tests @ 50% and 70% of full nominal load  Electromagnetic Interference.  Excepted tests from MIL-PRF-28800F not be performed:  Splash proofWatertight  Fungus ResistanceExplosive Atmosphere  Solar RadiationHumidity  Drip-proof

14. 14 DC-AC Inverter Evaluation

15. 15 Battery Charger on the Move  Statement of Need for Battery Management / Sustainment Systems  Overarching program for Alternative Power Sources for Communication Equipment  Response to OIF battery shortage  Garrison and Mobile needs addressed  Runs off AC or DC power  Mounts in vehicle or used on bench-top  Initial issue quantity to be fielded by MARCORSYSCOM in 2005-2006  Field User Evaluation with II MEF @ OIF III

16. 16 Vehicle Power System Solar Charging Panel Part of Battery Management Statement of Need Provides charging (not desulfating) Overcomes battery self-discharge and helps ensure vehicles start on demand. First fielding to MARFORRES Vehicle Power Distribution Fuse and Circuit Breaker Protection Waterproof enclosure Waterproof connectors Fielding concept TBD

17. 17  Funded by Office of Naval Research  Future Naval Capability – ACES  Expeditionary Warfare Tech Div (353)  Cooperative with Army  Full and Open competition to Industry  Solicitation in FY04  Source Selection complete  Multiple vendors in Phase I  Trade-offs / Preliminary Design  Down-select vendors for Phase II  Hardware build – one system each  Technical Testing in 2006/07  System Evaluation 2007/08 On-Board Vehicle Power Medium & Large Applicable to mounted systems that require dedicated power sources (Radar, OpsCenter, Mobile Command Posts, APU applications, etc.)
