The purpose of the project was to develop the technology needed to build the next family of automotive ignition systems while improving the performance and reliability of the ignition systems presently in use. This was accomplished by learning from the industrial partner where the state of the art stood and understanding the problems that needed to be solved before fundamental advancements could be made. Then, resources from the DOE facilities were matched to the challenges presented by the industrial partner. The role of the industrial partner was to describe the state of the art concerning the manufacturing and performance of automotive ignition systems to organizations at the DOE facilities. The role of DOE facilities was to apply basic research and development techniques to the problems presented by the industrial partner while advancing the capabilities available to DOE Defense Programs.
