Description
Description — Generators And Associated Equip
This line provides the power generation and distribution that enables the Army to employ Command Posts across the operational spectrum, from early entry to major combat operations. Command Posts will use the microgrid to provide safe, reliable, and efficient power. This line also provides power generation for Soldier Borne Sensors, Lasers and Optics as well as Precision Fire & Air Missile Defense systems. The MA9800 / Generators and Associated Equipment funding line supports the Mobile Electric Power Generating Sources (MEPGS) systems. The MEPGS systems consist of three generations: first generation is the Military Standard (MIL-STD) generators (to include the 2kW Military Tactical Generator (MTG)); the second generation is the Tactical Quiet Generator (TQG); the third generation is the Tactical Electric Power (TEP). The TEP program is to replace and modernize the first and second generation of DoD generator inventory (MIL STD, MTG and TQG, respectively) to meet the Army's requirements and establish the DoD standard for MEPGS. The TEP program is structured around the Small Tactical Electric Power (STEP) that covers 2-3kW stand-alone generator variants, Advanced Medium Mobile Power Sources (AMMPS) that covers 5-60kW stand-alone generator variants, and Large Tactical Power System (LTPS) that will support the initial development of a large tactical power solution (up to 500kW). Following budget line consolidation, this funding line now includes prime power Deployable Power Generation and Distribution System (DPGDS) Power Unit (PU), 900kW at medium voltage, 4160 Volts Alternating Current. The MA9800 / Generators and Associated Equipment funding line also supports Mobile Electric Power Distribution Systems (MEPDS), Mobile Electric Power Management Systems (MEPMS) and Mobile Electric Power Storage Systems (MEPSS) IAW DODI 4120.11. The MEPDS includes current associated power distribution equipment (Power Distribution Illumination Systems Electrical (PDISE)) as ASIOE to MEPGS systems. These programs collectively provide a new, modern family of generators and distribution systems satisfying critical user requirements. The TEP CPD (rev 2, July 2014) will: 1. Reduce Acquisition Costs and Operations and Sustainment (O&S) costs by 15-20%. 2. Reduce weight by 25% across generator population, thereby reducing the Logistics footprint and improving deployability. 3. Significantly improve Reliability, Availability and Maintainability, to include mean time between failure improvements of 100-300%. 4. Eliminate gasoline from the generator inventory, thus complying with DoD guidance regarding single fuel on the battlefield (diesel/JP-8). 5. Reduce battlefield detectability by lowering noise levels by 50-75% across generator population. 6. Improve battlefield survivability by providing mission critical electric power to the digitized warfighting forces. MEPDS, MEPMS and MEPSS will develop and field joint solutions, the equipment developed will provide an interface for future On-board Vehicle Power System and Hybrid Power systems. Power Distribution Illumination Systems Electrical (PDISE) provides the linkage between the generators and the Network/C3I, Air & Missile Defense, Long Range Precision Fires, Command Post and Combat Support/Combat Service Support systems. Power distribution systems are the circuit breaker panel for communication and electronic systems. PDISE are integral accessories to the CPMod (Command Post Integrated Infrastructure), TESS (Towable Expeditionary Shelter System), and the Army Field Hospital AMMPS MicroGrid MG5602 120kW generator set. This program transmits electrical power efficiently from the point of generation to the point of need. PDISE components are man-portable and safe for all weather operations to protect Soldiers from electric shock. PDISE is a reliable, quick to assemble, modular designed power distribution equipment that is critical to deploying power networks. PDISE is compatible with DoD generator sets from 5kW to 60kW. PDISE as a program is committed solely to the warfighter. Medium Power Distribution System (MPDS) provides the linkage between the 5-60kW generators and includes the current PDISE family (M200, M100, M40, M60, M46). PDISE are required ASIOE for DoD generator sets. M200 Army Acquisition Objective (AAO) = 395; M100 AAO = 3,415; M60 AAO = 6,524; M40 AAO = 7,424; M46 AAO = 17,619. PDISE Expansion will add power distribution greater than 60kW. PDISE Expansion - Prime, the Prime Power Distribution Systems (PPDS) effort will fulfill prime power (medium voltage, 4160 Volts Alternating Current (VAC)) distribution shortfalls to support 249th Engineer Battalion (Prime Power) and Force Provider Expeditionary (FPE) requirements. PPDS will provide modernized power distribution capabilities for the U.S. Army Deployable Power Generation and Distribution System (DPGDS), the FPE Prime Power Connection Kit (PPCK), and the U.S. Air Force Basic Expeditionary Airfield Resources (BEAR) power systems. The PPDS will incorporate advanced capabilities and include three primary components: an improved Primary Switching Center (iPSC), an improved Secondary Distribution Center (iSDC), and a Tactical Prime Power Transformer (TPPT). Advanced Medium Mobile Power Sources (AMMPS) units power or are incorporated into digital systems across the Army Portfolio to include Network/C3I, Air & Missile Defense, Long Range Precision Fires, Command Post and Combat Support/Combat Service Support Systems. AMMPS is a modernization program to provide 5kW, 10kW, 15kW, 30kW, or 60kW generators in either a skid, trailer mounted, or microgrid configuration to replace legacy generators and provide an ability to interface with newer technologies. AMMPS enhances operational effectiveness by increasing availability of power, while reducing noise, weight, and sustainment burdens for units. AMMPS Microgrid Configurations meet power needs while reducing the fuel consumption on the battlefield. The reduced logistics footprint significantly reduces the cost of operation. Overseas Operations Costs (OOC) funds this requirement in FY26. Army Acquisition Objective (AAO) = 17,192. Power Units/Mounted (AMMPS): Power Units (PUs) consist of one generator set mounted on a trailer. Power Plants (PPs) consist of two generator sets mounted on either one or two trailers (depending on size) with a switchbox installed and paralleling cables between sets. The Microgrid capability allows up to six (6) 30kW or 60kW sized AMMPS generators to automatically start and stop to match load demand and supply power to a common distribution hub. Overseas Operations Costs (OOC) funds this requirement in FY26. Power Units/Power Plants Army Acquisition Objective (AAO) = 14,481. The generator sets are procured by competitive contracts through the Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground, Belvoir (ACC-APG, B). The trailers are procured by competitive contracts through the Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA). The generators and associated equipment line also funds small power generators, which consists of three variants: Small Tactical Electric Power (STEP) Lightweight (STEP-LW) systems, STEP Hybrid Augmentation Systems (STEP HAS) and STEP 3kW systems. The STEP program contributes to the Army modernization priorities under Army Futures Command Soldier Lethality Cross Function Team (CFT) and Network CFT. It will be the power sources for Soldier borne sensors, lasers and optics and will provide the Warfighter with expeditionary power solutions designed for combat operations in the most austere environments. STEP will replace existing systems and is a modernization program that will provide improved tactical electric mobile power sources for replacement of the currently fielded 2kW (MTG) sets and 3kW (TQG) sets, initially procured in the 1990s. STEP models will be lightweight, modular, reliable and more logistically supportable power sources than their predecessors for the Department of Defense's (DoD) 21st century digitized forces. AAO: STEP Lightweight = 6,289, STEP Hybrid - 1,475, STEP 3kW = 19,788. This line provides power generation and distribution that enables the Army to employ Air and Missile Defense systems across the operational spectrum. The Deployable Power Generation and Distribution System (DPGDS) Power Unit (PU) provides mission critical power to the Nation's strategic missile defense assets; specifically, the Army/Navy Transportable Radar Surveillance (AN/TPY-2) X-Band Radar in Forward-Based Mode (FBM). These radars are critical in detecting, classifying and tracking ballistic missiles. The power unit is also used by the Army's only Prime Power Battalion to support its National Response Framework (NRF) mission, providing DoD support to civil defense and natural related disasters. The recapitalization effort leverages significant technology advancements over past 15 years and extends the economic useful life of these PUs by bringing the set back to zero hours. The recapitalized MEP-PU-810 will come in two variants, the MEP-PU-810C, a towed trailer configuration, and the MEP-PU-810D, a 5th wheel configuration DoT approved for over the road use at 55 mph. Throughout the Department of Defense, the MEP-PU-810D supports numerous missions, such as supporting the nation's Ballistic Missile Defense System. This program is included in the OPA Budget Line Consolidation. In FY 2025, the Tactical Electric Power Recapitalization (R42501) program was consolidated into the Generators and Associated Equipment (MA9800) program. Overseas Operations Costs (OOC) funds this requirement in FY 2026.
