The 900W may be generated by two sub-systems, with each providing no less than 450W. Set-aside Status. 100% Small Business Set-Aside. SEE DRAFT SOW AND PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION DOCUMENT ENTITLED "A02 PS 6115-0134 - Rev3 20201102" FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ALL THE PPG REQUIREMENTS. Power requirements are a major contributing factor preventing small units from being able to self-sustain for extended periods without resupply. The continued proliferation of power consuming systems at the small unit level, to include networked communication devices, has created an unsustainable burden from a logistics and Soldier load perspective. PPG is the Platoon's primary energy producing source for recharging during missions in austere environments where power resupply is limited or non-existent. The PPG will enable small units the capability to operate for forty-eight (48) to seventy-two (72) hours in austere environments without the need to resupply equipment batteries. See attached A02 PPG SOW and new Performance Specs entitled "A02 PS 6115-0134 - Rev3 20201102" for further details of this requirement.
