HUNTSVILLE, Ala., 14 Nov. 2010. The DRS Technologies Test and Energy Management segment in Huntsville, Ala., is partnering with Allison Transmission, Inc. in Indianapolis to provide on-board vehicle power on U.S. military vehicles by providing a cost-effective means of on-board power generation, company officials announced.
The partnership aims to provide advanced power train technology and on-board power for new and existing generations of military electronic equipment, ranging from flat-panel displays and night-vision equipment, to advanced battery recharging capability for infantry soldiers operating in the field for extended periods.
The DRS/Allison partnership seeks to develop on-board vehicle power technology that uses a transmission integral generator with power-producing capabilities ranging from 30 kilowatts to more than 125 kilowatts, company officials say. This approach could provide a solution that could be installed on the existing military vehicles without redesign.
