## Summary

This activity requests $18.8M in FY2027, 63% of project 2503, up 1076% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2026–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** - Complete the development and test alternative fuel distribution and storage technologies for Self-support Portable Distributed Refueling System (SPDRS) in support of EABO. - Continue development of the Fuel Automated Reporting System (FARS) Increment II, to provide automated fuel reporting integration with secure geo-location information and predictive analytics. - Continue testing and development of emerging technologies on legacy tactical fuel systems. - Initiate the development testing and evaluation of Six Containers (SIXCON) Fuel Pump Module prototypes to provide modular pumping capabilities to expeditionary forces. - Initiate the development and test of scalable, modular Beach Receiving Kit (BRK) protypes. - Initiate development of Collapsible Tank Inspection Kit (C-TIK) to provide an efficient, effective, and safe means to inflate, deflate, defuel, and inspect Collapsible Fabric Drums and Tanks. - Initiate the development of the Transportable Collapsible Bladder (TCB) to provide diverse, multi-modal bulk fuel transportation, storage, and distribution capabilities in support of expeditionary operations in a contested environment.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 is targeted at closing key capability gaps in expeditionary fuel logistics. Specifically, advancing the development of Six Containers (SIXCON) Fuel Pump Module prototypes, Beach Receiving Kit (BRK) prototypes, Collapsible Tank Inspection Kit (C-TIK), and Transportable Collapsible Bladder (TCB).

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** - Continued testing of sensor and meter for the Fuel Automated Reporting System (FARS) along with data analytics technologies for fuel systems in order to fulfill procurement actions necessary for Engineer Change Proposals (ECPs) of the legacy tactical fuel systems. - Continued the development and test alternative fuel distribution and storage technologies for Self-support Portable Distributed Refueling System (SPDRS) in support of EABO. - Completed the research and development of the LPDS capability developing sub-components, support testing and certifications to improve the system's technology readiness level.
