High Volatility Fuel Module (HVF Module) In response to Navy SBIR topic N06-184 “Application of Advanced Materials for High Volatility Fuel Management”, Marine Design Dynamics, Inc. (MDD) has developed a prototype technology demonstrator for an advanced fuel storage and distribution module. The High Volatility Fuel Storage Module (HVF Module) prototype technology demonstrator incorporates MDD’s Phase I preliminary design efforts with a Phase II, detailed engineering approach, to yield a design that will support the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) as a mission module. The HFV Module will also have broader potential Naval and Joint Services applications that require a safe and reliable fuel storage and distribution module. The advantages of high volatility fuels make them attractive for a variety of applications throughout the Department of Defense, where high energy density and small motors are required; however the transportation and storage of high volatility fuels through the Naval and DoD transportation systems and the utilization (dispensing) of these fuels to Naval assets pose significant challenges. Transport, storage, and transfer entail increased risk of fire, explosion and explosive vapor migration, especially when encountered in poorly ventilated ship spaces. Additionally, the storage and supply chain leading to the Joint Warfighter consist of many modes of transportation, storage sites, and transfer methods, each with specific requirements for storage and handling of high volatility fuels. Emerging requirements for a Navy riverine capability also indicate a need for a system to transport and store MOGAS, for which the HVF Module is well suited. MDD's HVF Module project demonstrates a relatively low technological risk modular system that provides safe fuel transport, storage, and transfer capabilities to the LCS and other surface ships and shore applications. The HVF Module meets the transportation, storage, and handling requirements of all nodes of the supply chain, and will help facilitate the use of high volatility fuels throughout the armed forces. Naval ships such as the LCS could use the system to transport, store and dispense motor gasoline (MOGAS), which is needed to resupply their complement of small boats, raiding craft, and unmanned vehicles. MDD's HVF Module is designed to support the modern Joint Warfighter in today's and future missions.
