The US Army is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to demonstrate a small innovative Auxiliary Power Unit based on a set of requirements that are not vehicle specific, which can then be used to evaluate its effectiveness as a secondary power source on both legacy and new vehicles. Phase III of this initiative will continue to support the development of a next generation APU with modern fuel injected diesel engine and advanced power generation system. A continuation and expansion of initial project objectives will be pursued during Phase III, through specific technology integration and validation testing.
