Cummins Advanced Combat Engine (ACE), an opposed-piston 1,000 hp engine,is to be demonstrated at Camp Grayling, Michigan, on 27 October, during a US Army Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC)-sponsored event, Dion Anglin, the company's defence market director, told Janes on 10 October at the annual Association of the United States Army (AUSA) 2022 convention in Washington, DC.

ACE is a GVSC-funded programme to create a modular, scalable diesel engine that can power a smaller combat platform similar to the Bradley infantry fighting vehicle up to the most power-intensive platform, the Abrams main battle tank, Anglin said.

The army awarded Cummins an USD87 million contract in July 2021 to complete ACE's development. That ‘other transaction authority' contract built upon a competitive multiyear GVSC effort to develop new powertrain technology. “The OTA allows for transitioning the new technology into the next generation of vehicle programmesahead of the programmes' launch dates,” Cummins said in a statement.
