Project Arcwater: Sustaining more than just the warfighter

U.S. Air Force Senior Master Sgt. Brent Kenney, 52nd Civil Engineer Squadron Heavy Repair superintendent (second from right), speaks with members of Eagle-Orzel during a staff meeting in Otwock, Poland, June 26, 2022. Since 1995, Eagle-Orzel, a nonprofit cultural exchange organization between the U.S. and Poland, has been participating in a Polish summer camp teaching children English through art. This year, Airmen from the 52nd Fighter Wing were able to join the program, using it as an opportunity to also field-test the latest Air Force Agile Combat Employment innovation, Project Arcwater.

What would normally require a large generator and countless 55-gallon drums of diesel fuel, Project Arcwater can sustain dozens of warfighters during Agile Combat Employment using only sunlight and water from the air, meaning it can fit in the beds of a couple pickup trucks.
