Navy SBIR Phase II: Fuel Flexibility for Expeditionary Operations

The Challenge

  • Navy expeditionary forces rely on JP-8 as a common battlefield fuel.
  • Modern Tier 4 diesel equipment is designed for ULSD.
  • Compatibility challenges create sustainment and logistics concerns.

The Opportunity

  • Improve operational readiness.
  • Expand deployment options for commercial-off-the-shelf equipment.
  • Reduce fuel-related sustainment burdens.

Role

Exergi Predictive is supporting the U.S. Navy through a Phase II SBIR effort focused on enabling modern diesel-powered equipment to operate effectively in expeditionary environments where JP-8 is the primary fuel source.
