Aerospace and defense solutions
The inclusion of airborne electronic attack capability to a long-duration UAV platform provides upgraded electronic warfare support in theater during engagements lead by older or slower aircraft that often rely on last-generation platforms. The challenge is to implement the smallest, lightest solution that is able to drive multiple high voltage sources to an isolated 270V with current sharing.
A stack of 6 BCM converter modules with the outputs all in series provide 4,242VDC isolation and exceptional efficiency of 97.9%. As is typical in any UAV, the space made available is limited and of irregular shape. The Vicor modular approach allows great flexibility in how to build a power delivery to fit within the platform.
MIL-COTS BCM® bus converter modules
