The Battlefield Utilities Team manages though-life fuel handling, general purpose power and potable water capabilities for all of the armed services operating in the Land environment. As well as new projects, the team is responsible for the asset management, repair and maintenance of in-service equipments to meet the requirements of deployed land forces.

Current projects

Joint Operation Fuel System is a fully integrated modular military fuel capability that will receive, store, test/blend, dispense and distribute bulk fuel from ship to shore, air transport, bulk carrying vehicle, rail tanker, inland waterway and host nation support.

Combat Water Supply System will support the force operating in the land environment wherever it may be deployed, by providing a self-sufficient water capability. This includes management of water from its raw source to the point at which potable and palatable water is delivered to the user. It will also provide the capability to collect, store and distribute water to a user unit.

Future Power will provide general purpose power for all services working in the land environment. Power capability encompasses both generation and distribution equipment.
