There are actually two Phase 2 contracts that AFTC is working on:

Business Developments:

AFTC is pleased to announce that they have received a Phase II SBIR contract award titled
“Ultra-High Pressure Jet Propellant-8 (JP-8) Fuel Injection.” The objectives of this project are to
design, develop and conduct durability testing on a multi (6)-cylinder amplified fuel injection
system that is capable of producing at least 40,000 psi peak injection pressure using JP-8 fuel. By
raising injection pressures from current levels of about 20,000 psi, it has the potential to
improve engine efficiency and lower engine emissions.
The system will be designed to seamlessly package on a current production medium-heavy duty
diesel engine. AFT will develop appropriate injection control strategies and hardware to provide
multiple injection capability.
The developed system will be run on a test bench for a period of 1000 hours to verify the system
reliability and durability.
The contract will run for 24 months and is valued at $727,086.

AFTC is also working on another Army Phase II SBIR project titled “Development of the Bosch
CP-3 Common Rail Pump for JP-8 Fuel.” This project has been underway since May, 2010, and is
valued at $715,829. This project will be completed by May 1, 2012.

It sounds like the contract that will be completed in 5 days is the “Development of the Bosch
CP-3 Common Rail Pump for JP-8 Fuel.” IMO
