Delphi Pilots Program With U.S. Marine Corps

Delphi Corp., the U.S. Marine Corps, and the National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS) will equip a Light Armored Vehicle (LAV) with existing automotive-based sensors, control electronics, diagnostics, and telematics technology to show potential performance improvements.

For over 35 years, Delphi has supplied connectors and printed flex circuits to major U.S. defense contractors performing at subzero cold to more than 400EF, salt spray to sandstorms, and 12,000G blasts to supersonic speeds.

For this program, rollover, oil quality and fuel level sensors, a battery health monitor, absorbent glass mat battery, and DS800 Diagnostic Suite will be installed in several operational vehicles to validate the usefulness of these technologies in the field.

The LAV pilot will also undergo a full diagnostic mapping procedure that will allow Delphi’s patented DS800 system to fully assess the health and performance history of the vehicle.
