    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the Army Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, is seeking information from vendors regarding the Platoon Power Generation (PPG) program. The objective is to identify a lightweight, soldier-portable power source capable of generating between 2 to 5 kilowatts, which will support operational and tactical missions by recharging batteries in austere environments for up to 72 hours. This initiative is crucial for maintaining the operational capabilities of platoons, as the increasing reliance on digital platforms and autonomous systems has heightened power demands on the battlefield. Interested vendors are invited to submit white papers by November 18, 2024, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time, to the designated contacts, Kadi-Jah Sheridan and Jessica L. Wright, with specific submission guidelines outlined in the request for information.
