AVT-250 Research Task Group (RTG) on “Gas Turbine Engine Environmental Particulate Foreign Object Damage [EP-FOD]”, Technical Report published on STO Publications Website
Military vehicles from NATO countries are often operated in challenging environments containing a range of airborne particles, including solid particles encountered in dust, sand, and volcanic ash. As a result, the components and materials included in military vehicles suffer accelerated deterioration, posing a threat to operational safety, increasing maintenance costs, and compromising the availability of the assets for mission-oriented deployments. In response to these operational challenges, significant work relating to understanding and mitigating the effects of Environmental Particulate foreign object damage has been and continues to be, carried out in Partner Nations. Having this in mind, a group of specialists from military users, national laboratories, and industry have gathered to collate knowledge on the types of environmental particulate to which the military operator is exposed and examine the options to standardize harsh environment erosion testing, with the end result of developing a NATO-wide testing protocol in the form of a STANAG. The work of this Research Task Group has been recently published on the
STO Publications Website
