COLUMBUS, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cummins Inc. (NYSE:CMI) has been selected as one of two awardees that will develop, manufacture, test, and produce generator sets in both the 500 kilowatt (kW) skid (MEPGS-10001) and Power Plants (PP) (MEPGS-35001) configurations to meet the electrical power needs for the Large Tactical Power System (LTPS) and the Department of Defense (DoD).
LTPS is a modernization program managed by the Product Lead, Large Power Systems (LPS), that will provide more mobile, reliable, and logistically supportable tactical electric power sources for the DoD's 21st century digitized forces.

It is in direct reflection of our team’s persistence in innovation: to create the most reliable and logistically supportable power sources for the future of digitized forces,” stated Doreen Swanson, Director of Government and Military Business for Cummins Power Generation.
