The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to advance the state-of-the-art in digital engineering and advanced manufacturing tools and processes to redesign, test, and produce a new lead-free copper brass radiator prototype.  Using the Bradley Fighting Vehicle A3 as a surrogate, this initiative will leverage new advances in digital engineering and modeling and simulation tools to design a new copper brass radiator that meets the same form, fit and function characteristics and all mobility performance requirements under operating loads. Special emphasis will be placed on finding common tools and approaches to better assess new radiator designs and manufacturing methods in ways that accelerate development and manufacturing cycles, improve performance and reliability, and reduce costs for manufacturing and maintenance and sustainment activities related to heavy vehicle cooling systems.

If you feel your organization has the technical capabilities and would like to be considered for this project, please complete the form below and upload your organization’s technical capabilities statement.
