Abstract
Content

Current threats on our military forces have created a tremendous requirement for mobility as it relates to mission specifications. The objectives of onboard vehicle power (OBVP) are to develop, demonstrate, and transition electronic technologies that enable lighter, physically smaller, more efficient, and more reliable electronics, which are easier to operate and maintain. This in turn will enable current and emerging electronic systems to increase performance, have improved physical characteristics, be more reliable, and require significantly fewer lifecycle resources. Further development of these programs will also maximize the advantages of increased DC supply voltage inherent in military vehicles such as the High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) for delivery of a power solution for multiple military platforms in excess of today’s available 10KW.
