# Army Extends Michigan Tech Power Project

The U.S. Army extended Michigan Technological University’s project to develop an onboard mobile power system for tactical vehicles, bringing the total project value to **$16.9 million** and the project timeline to three years. The system is designed to generate 120 kW at 600 V DC. Michigan Tech is working with Oshkosh Defense, the FMTV A2 original equipment manufacturer, on vehicle integration. The project’s development and integration work may create relevant follow-on opportunities in prototyping, demonstration, and manufacturing for contractors with military vehicle and power-system capabilities.

- The effort centers on integrating mobile electrical generation into tactical vehicles, making vehicle integration and power-system expertise particularly relevant to prospective suppliers.
- Companies with prototyping or production capabilities may find potential follow-on work as the project advances toward demonstrations and manufacturing.
