Compact Electric Fuel Pump for Extreme Viscosity Fuels and Slurries

The Department of Defense, specifically the Navy, is seeking proposals for the development of a Compact Electric Fuel Pump designed to handle extreme viscosity fuels and slurries. The objective is to create an electric metering fuel pump that can efficiently pump highly viscous liquids and slurries, meeting specific Navy-defined parameters such as flow rate, weight, and operational temperature range. This technology is crucial for enhancing the range of flight vehicles by enabling the use of fuels with higher energy densities than conventional jet fuel. Interested parties should note that the solicitation is currently in the pre-release phase, with the official opening date set for January 8, 2025, and a closing date for applications on February 5, 2025.
