Armored auxiliary power
From WikiCover
On August 16, 2007, Dewey Electronics announced the receipt of a new contract to provide auxiliary power systems for the United States Marine Corps (USMC) Logistic Vehicle. This contract, awarded by the USMC Systems Command, Quantico, Virginia, consists of a base year and three option years. The initial delivery order for the Logistic Vehicle Power System (LVPS), valued at approximately $2.4 million, has been received with an accelerated delivery of 150 days. The LVPS is a diesel-powered 3.5 kilowatt 28 volt DC generator, providing power to equipment that protects against improvised explosive devices.
The LVPS production award follows the recent receipt of a contract to develop an armored 3 kilowatt 28 volt DC auxiliary power unit than can be mounted on the back of the USMC main battle tank, the Abrams M1A1. The development contract, for $550,000, was awarded by the USMC Tank Program Office, also in Quantico, Virginia, through a sub-contract administered by CACI, Eatontown, New Jersey, and has the possibility of a follow-on production contract.
The company continues to supply two-kilowatt tactical portable diesel operated generators to the US Army, USMC and other Department of Defense agencies. The two-kilowatt generator sets provides either 28 volt DC or 120 volt AC portable power for multi-applications.
