Performance Specification for Military Mobile Power Sources (0.5kW TO 15kW)

Military Spec This specification covers the technical requirements for general purpose military mobile power sources from 0.5kW to 15kW, with 50/60 Hz AC & DC outputs. Configurations include skid or trailer mounted systems; the power sources are fueled with JP-8 or DoD diesel fuels used for ground systems. The intent of this specification is to document the minimum key performance parameters KPPs) and critical non-KPP technical requirements deemed essential for any power source for military use in pan-climatic combat environments. Potential power source technologies include rotating machines with internal or external combustion engines, fuel cells, i.e., PEM, SOFC, DMFC, etc., thermoelectrics, thermophotovoltaics, solar photovoltaics, solar dynamic systems and AMTEC.* Any other energy conversion & energy storage technology may also be deemed applicable by a DoD proponent.
