N2 - To improve energy security, the U.S. military is pursuing a long-term plan to improve the energy efficiency of its operations. As part of this effort, the U.S. Pacific Command (PACOM) has begun a research program for Transformative Reductions in Operational Energy Consumption (TROPEC), which will identify, refine and validate technologies to reduce energy use in expeditionary military outposts, for energy end-uses such as heating, cooling, water heating, lighting, and electronics. The program includes a multi-stage process - the Innovations Network - to identify and screen candidate technologies for testing. Technology developers, especially startups and other small businesses, can submit energy efficiency technologies for consideration. Technologies that offer military utility and are technically sound will undergo testing and further development at a Department of Energy national laboratory, then operational testing by the Marine Forces Pacific Experimentation Center.
