The Fuel Efficiency Demonstrator (FED) Program was initiated by OSD to address energy conservation needs highlighted by the Defense Science Board: Energy Security Task Force. The overarching goal of the program is to improve military vehicle technology to reduce fuel consumption on the battlefield, and reduce our dependence on oil. The technical objectives of the FED are: * Demonstrate a tactical vehicle with significantly greater fuel economy than an M1114 HMMWV while maintaining tactical vehicle capability. * Integrate emerging fuel efficient technologies to demonstrate potential capabilities for the next generation of military trucks. * Consider higher risk/higher payoff technologies to attain the most fuel efficient vehicle possible.
