Power The Force: Future Force Power Systems- Critical Enabler for Army Transformation

Efficient and portable POWER, to drive the Military's Future Combat technology and equipment is the key to a successful Future Force. Belle Aerospace Corporation is proposing a very compact, lightweight portable power generation system for use in small Military Tactical Generators (MTG) in the 250 to 2000 Watt power range. Using a proven generator and power electronics technology from Hamilton Sundstrand, combined with a unique efficient power head configuration provided by Belle Aerospace Corporation will provide Women Marine portable MTG for the U.S. ARMY. BAC's proposed generator system concept will be reliable in a battlefield environment, compact, lightweight, quiet, fuel-efficient (use heavy fuels, such as DF-1, DF-2, and JP8), and capable of supporting a wide variety of field equipment, including the Future Combat System (FCS) network. BAC's diesel engine concept uses high speeds to reduce size and weight. BAC's engine provides a means to increase electric power density ratio. In addition, BAC's unique design improves reliability through part reduction and the use of proven technology, while maintaining specific fuel consumption rates.
