Description
FTT proposes the detail design and test of a prototype rocket-based turbogenerator for high energy laser and other directed energy weapon applications. During phase I, FTT showed significant performance advantages for the rocket-based turbogenerator over energy storage devices and traditional gas-turbine based systems. The proposed phase II scope includes detail design, analysis, and ground testing of a prototype high-speed turbogenerator and power electronics capable of providing on-demand (instant on) electrical power in order to advance the technical readiness level (TRL) to 6.
