There was a subcontract from BD to some other company to develop a small, quiet Diesel powerplant, but not much came of that. Small Diesels are hard.

(The US military is all-Diesel. Gasoline tankers have no place on the modern battlefield, with few safe lines of communication. If somebody puts a bullet hole in a Diesel tanker, you slap a patch over the leak and go on.)
