Cyclone Power Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: CYPW), developer of the
all-fuel,
clean-tech Cyclone Engine,
announced today that it has successfully completed the fourth of
five major milestones under its engine development contract with
the
U.S. Army / Tank Automotive Research,
Development & Engineering Center (TARDEC), which included
completion of engine enhancements and preliminary full system
testing. With this accomplishment Cyclone has submitted for payment
an invoice for approximately $250,000.
The Army / TARDEC contract is valued at approximately $1.4
million, of which $1 million has been received to date by Cyclone.
The program objective is to develop a Phase I prototype of a highly
compact, lightweight 10kW power generator, driven by Cyclone's
power-dense, external combustion engine. The final product is
expected to be compatible for use with multiple lines of combat
vehicles either as a built-in auxiliary or dismountable and
portable power unit.
Christopher Nelson, Cyclone's President, stated, "We are making
great progress with this engine program, and are on budget and
within schedule to deliver a prototype system this summer. This
will be a major accomplishment for us, which we believe will put us
in a strong position for Phase II follow-on funding."
"Along these lines, I just returned from the National Defense Industry Association (NDIA) - Science
& Technology Conference last week in Washington DC, at which we
presented our technology to an excellent reception of high-level
industry and DOD representatives. Despite tightening budgets, the
military has critical requirements for next-generation portable and
multi-fuel power units. We believe that funding will be available
for technology like Cyclone's that can prove to reduce operating
costs and increase military capabilities in the future," Mr. Nelson
added.
