In July 2009, AFT responded to an SBIR invitation by submitting a proposal to develop
an innovative advanced propulsion solution for future combatant craft with breakthrough
technology for multi-fuel engines weighing three to five times less than conventional
diesel engines of the same horsepower. The U.S. Navy and its Navy SEALS in particular,
utilize assault craft and combatant patrol vessels that rely on speed, acceleration and
maneuverability to protect the lives of troops and secure multi-mission success. The
increasing demand to carry greater “payloads” inherently reduces the current craft’s
overall performance, including speed, agility, even survivability of troops. The U.S.
Navy is in need of an alternative to current diesel fuel propulsion systems; one that
allows for increased payloads without sacrificing speed and acceleration. More
specifically, an innovative solution that decreased “weight to power ratios” significantly
thereby enables increases in mission system payload weight and personnel transport
capability. AFT submitted its proposal on July 15, ahead of schedule, and received
positive feedback. The project includes three phases. Phase one could generate a total
$100,000; Phase two could exceed $1,000,000, and Phase three which includes the
completion of a full prototype engine installed in a marine craft, would likely approach
$20,000,000. The U.S. Navy defines only the scope of the work rather than the contract
dollar amount.
