Officials of the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC) in Warren, Mich., are inviting industry representatives to the TARDEC Vehicle Electrification Forum 2 meetings, which will be Tuesday 1 Nov. 2018 at Automation Alley, 2675 Bellingham Drive, in Troy, Mich.
This meeting will help advance electrification of Army combat and tactical systems by enabling industry to invest and innovate on combat vehicle products that meet Army needs, which can be integrated into systems with minimal cost and schedule.
TARDEC is the U.S. Army’s research center for all ground vehicles and vetronics. The forum enables industry to contribute to TARDEC’s vehicle electrification strategy. Army combat vehicles include main battle tanks, armored personnel carriers, self-propelled artillery, and utility vehicles like the JLTV.
The November meeting will report on progress since last June, and will present and discuss the component specifications and software interfaces with proposed vehicle electronic architectures, as well as proposed energy storage standards.
