DoD (Navy) Topic No. SBIR N121-054, Phase I and Phase II, including design, fabrication, and testing of a heavy fuel engine and propulsion system for the Modular Unmanned Small Craft Littoral (MUSCL) Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV), plus system integration, construction, and testing of the prototype boats. One of the three boats delivered to the Navy is pictured below.
The heavy fuel engine developed under this program has potential application as a propulsion system for unmanned ground vehicles as well as prime mover for small power generaton sets for tactical applications. Candent Technologies is teamed with Orbital Engines of Australia to develop the small heavy fuel engine that powers the MUSCL USV
Army SBIR Topic No.A03-069, Phase I, II, and II+: designed, fabricated, and tested advanced 750-hp full scale, prototype high efficiency gas turbine engine capable of meeting the Army’s Small Heavy Fuel Engine (SHFE) program goals
Navy SBIR Topic No.N092-122
Phase I, completed preliminary design of twin gas turbine propulsion system for 11m boat, using Candent designed high efficiency 540 hp engines and high power density 75kW Auxiliary Power Unit to power Candent designed Hybrid Electric Drive system
Navy SBIR Topic No. N103-229,
Phase I and II, designed waste heat energy recovery system for DDG51 destroyer Ship Service Gas Turbine Generators (SSGTG), and completed fabrication and testing of prototype turbomachinery components
Air Force) SBIR Topic No. AF161-072, Phase I, analysis, concept development, preliminary design of prototype structurally embedded heat exchanger to improve turbine airfoil cooling
Candent developed MUSCL USV powered by a 5kW heavy fuel engine
