Description

Future military vehicle systems require 600VDC power buses to improve mobility and save fuel through hybrid power system configurations. This is a compelling proposition at a time when the military needs to find ways to address decreasing budgets, while increasing capability. High voltage systems are just now becoming requirements on future military vehicle systems. This paradigm shift in requirements results in technology gaps, unmet needs, and opportunities. This SBIR topic and recent vehicle requirements from major military vehicle manufacturers validate the need for an intelligent high voltage power distribution solution. Global ET"s solution will be a unique combination of SiC technology, compact and efficient power electronics, software features, and configurability.
