Any system that generates or consumes power rejects heat. This heat is typically not considered as a significant design factor when integrating on a platform. Most military engine cooling systems are under-designed as a result negatively impact mobility functions. Internal combustion is the only source of power on all military vehicles. There are no other alternative energy sources on any military vehicles. Soldiers are routinely exposed to elevated in-cabin temperatures (above 85 deg F), consequently their ability to complete the mission is negatively impacted.
