Customer’s challenge

Powering military vehicle functionality faces critical challenges in balancing, transporting, and generating energy for advanced, power-hungry systems in harsh environments. Key issues include immense power demands for new sensors and weapons, the high logistical burden of fuel supply, reliance on heavy, low-density batteries, and maintaining, operating, and charging in remote areas. 

  • A solution that would work across thousands of vehicles
  • Need for cold start and an option for NED (nuclear event detect circuit) compliance
  • A solution capable of producing demo units very quickly

主な利点

Bluewire unit for NED, with small power de-rating

Highly rugged, conduction-cooled SOSA aligned power supply

Quick prototyping and time-to-market

電力供給ネットワーク

The Vicor SOSA-compliant 3U power supply is based on Vicor DCM™ DC-DC converter technology, which provides superior density in a low-profile package. This solution can provide up to 800W within the 3U package and employs high efficiency, two-sided conduction-cooled modules. Up to four power supplies can be paralleled to increase output power capability with proprietary wireless current sharing.
