Brown § Results in Summer 2005 § Durability Testing (single system) § Nevada Automotive Test Center § Results in Summer 2005 10

On-Board Power Test Results 11

On Board Power Path Forward § This is USMC decision & direction only § Joint PM Power and PM Motor Transport decision § Aberdeen Test Center Reports delivered § C. E. Neihoff System – Rpt # ATC-8929, Feb 2005 § Raven Technology – Rpt # ATC-8930, Feb 2005 § Aura. Gen 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 k. W 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 12

DC-AC Inverter Evaluation § Steady-state load test. § Output loading set to 0%, 50%, and 100% of full load § Power factor set to 0. 8 leading and unity § § Dynamic load test Overload test Steady-state line regulation test Environmental testing IAW MIL-PRF-28800 § Temperature tests @ 50% and 70% of full nominal load § Electromagnetic Interference. § Excepted tests from MIL-PRF-28800 F not be performed: § § Splash proof Fungus Resistance Solar Radiation Drip-proof Watertight Explosive Atmosphere Humidity 13
