I've got to look at the web-info the other guy posted. The dual 12 volt alternators kind of threw me off - I'm wondering if somehow they get run in series to create 24 volts, or maybe each alternator charges one battery at 12 volts, or maybe even they are simply in parallel, and extra alternator is "military redundancy."
With, at least some of the military stuff I've worked on, the focus is simplicity. I know the miltary special orders these engines, as used in the Humvees, to use the older mechanic fuel injection systems - thus avoiding the trouble-prone electronic systems.
