10. 10 On-Board Power Activities Purpose is to prepare USMC:
For future power needs / requirements
For potential future acquisition programs
For assisting the FMF when they take action on their own
MCSC efforts at this time are toward supporting users / buyers with:
Performance data & cost data
Market availability to deliver via GSA schedule / NSNd items
Limited Users Evaluation
22nd MEU (Deployment) - 4 systems in FY04
Integration, Power, Reliability & Qualification Testing (3 vendors)
Completed at Aberdeen Test Center
Power Inverter Testing
Currently underway at NSWC-Crane and Dayton T. Brown
Results in Summer 2005
Durability Testing (single system)
Nevada Automotive Test Center
Results in Summer 2005

Aberdeen Test Center Reports delivered
C.E. Neihoff System Rpt # ATC-8929, Feb 2005
Raven Technology Rpt # ATC-8930, Feb 2005
AuraGen System Rpt # ATC-8933, Feb 2005
Release Authority: Marine Corps Systems Command
No formal requirement exists
No formal source selection was made
But when asked, our recommendation will be to utilize the C. E. Neihoff system when 5-8 kW of on-board AC power is needed
C.E. Neihoff system will be taken to NATC for durability tests
USMC is continuing DC-AC Inverter evaluations
13. 13 DC-AC Inverter Evaluation Steady-state load test.
Output loading set to 0%, 50%, and 100% of full load
