Book excerpt: Military diesel engines used in combat and tactical applications have their own specific engine control requirements that differ from those of commercial heavy-duty vehicles. The implementation of advanced engine control methods in diesel-powered military vehicles can result in an increase in their performance, a reduction in their fuel consumption, a reduction in their observable exhaust emissions and an improvement in their stealth capabilities. Neural network-based engine control has the potential to allow for the simultaneous, optimized control of several engine parameters such as fueling quantity, injection timing, injection pressure and turbocharger boost pressure. Future engines will be considerably more complicated in their control, incorporating such additional technologies as exhaust gas recirculation, variable geometry turbocharging, variable valve timing, multiple injection strategies and exhaust gas aftertreatment. The advanced engine control techniques developed here will facilitate the optimal control of these more sophisticated engines in future military applications.
