HTUF Military Truck Action Group

• HTUF effort to align industry/commercial technology development efforts to military’s tactical wheeled & combat vehicle fleet needs

• Identifying cross-cutting issues & industry/military collaboration opportunities to quicken military adoption of new comm’l technologies

• Operates bi-directionally – military OEMs/suppliers + military requirements writers, planners and end-users

Page 3: High-Efficiency Truck Users Froum (HTUF) Military Action Group (MTAG) Update

MTAG Goals• Use action group as a mechanism to transfer HTUF

process, knowledge base/relationships to insert advanced efficiency tech on military platforms

• Provide focused attention & action on key cross-cutting issues that support TARDEC’s long-term strategy

• Connect industry stakeholders with developers of military requirements (TRADOC) & end-users (PMs & PEOs)

TARDEC’s Vision for the Future – 3 Key Themes

• More Expeditionary – will require major weight reductions

• Autonomy-Enabled – assist but not replace the warfighter

• More Efficient – utilize less fuel and water

Page 5: High-Efficiency Truck Users Froum (HTUF) Military Action Group (MTAG) Update

TARDEC’s 30-Year Strategic Plan Value Streams

1. Shape Requirements of Future Programs of Record

2. Develop New Capabilities for Current Ground Systems

3. Provide Engineering Services and Support

Focus is on developing capabilities, not technologies

Page 6: High-Efficiency Truck Users Froum (HTUF) Military Action Group (MTAG) Update

Value Stream 1Shape Requirements of Future Programs of Record

“Investments in Leap-Ahead Technologies and Integrated Systems”

4 Lines of Effort1. Autonomy-Enabled Systems2. Ground System Architecture3. Protected Mobility (includes lightweighting)4. Power Density & Energy Efficiency (includes vehicle electrification

and a common modular engine)

Key Stakeholders: Requirements CommunityCapability Demonstrations: Combat vehicle prototype (FY21); AMAS; MD/HD tactical truck (FY16-20)

Page 7: High-Efficiency Truck Users Froum (HTUF) Military Action Group (MTAG) Update

Value Stream 2Develop New Capabilities for Current Ground Systems “Improve

Current Force Effectiveness”

3 Lines of Effort1. Enhance capabilities on current programs of record2. Improve Space, Weight, Power & Cooling Parameters in Current

Ground Fleet3. Reduce Lifecycle Costs in ground systems

Key Stakeholders: Acquisition Community (PMs)Capability Demonstrations: 1500hp, 2-stroke engine for Abrams & M-88; Advanced Li-Ion Batteries; Advanced Thermal Mgmt System; Advanced Combat Transmission

Value Stream 3Provide Engineering Services and Support “Develop,

Integrate & Sustain the Right Solutions”

3 Lines of Effort1. Invest in people, facilities & service capabilities2. Better communication & Field Support3. Secondary Items Procurement (i.e., 3D CAD modeling)

Key Stakeholders: Ground Vehicle CommunityUnique Capability: Full lifecycle technical support

HTUF is Supporting the TARDEC 30-Year Strategy

Direct correlation between HTUF efforts and Value Streams 1 (Shape Requirements of Future Programs of Record) and 2 (Develop New Capabilities for Current Ground Systems) – HTUF also well positioned & capable to support Value Stream 3

Particular synergy with individual Lines of Effort in Strategy:• Ground system architecture• Power density & energy efficiency (vehicle electrification)• Develop solutions for current capability gaps & needs• Reduce lifecycle costs

All HTUF/MTAG activities are aligned with Long-Term Strategy elements

MTAG Focus Areas/Opportunities for Collaboration with TARDEC

• Vehicle Electronic Architecture: developing common architecture for Stryker, Bradley, Future Fighting Vehicle; will disseminate high-voltage system design documents to industry for review & comment – June 2014

• Ground Power & Mobility: seeking industry supply chain for combat fleet electrification & V2G services including common inverters, pumps & fans; acquisition opps for integrated start-generator components

Page 11: High-Efficiency Truck Users Froum (HTUF) Military Action Group (MTAG) Update

MTAG Focus Areas/Opportunities for Collaboration with TARDEC (cont.)

• Vehicle System Robotics: seeking industry demonstration partners for automated MHE; fleets for AMAS mixed-vehicle demo; partners for automated bulldozer demo w/ Forest Service

• Energy Storage: seeking industry fleet partners & potential funding for Phase 2 of 6T battery demonstration

Page 12: High-Efficiency Truck Users Froum (HTUF) Military Action Group (MTAG) Update

• 3 companies (Navitas, Saft & Eagle Picher) provided 12V & 24V lithium-ion batteries in 6T form factor for testing in support of TARDEC Power and Mobility Energy Storage team

• Batteries installed in commercial HD trucks for warm & cold weather testing – used as starter batteries

• Goal: validate batteries for commercial users, build large parallel market to reduce costs for military

• Phase 2: test other similar commercial capabilities such as idle reduction & worksite power

6T Battery Demonstration
