MIL-STD-3072: High Voltage for Army Ground Vehicles

The publishing of MIL-STD-3072 is critical to the Army’s introduction of electrified vehicles. It is the first of three documents to replace MIL-PRF-GCS600A, a performance specification that is loosely referenced by engineers but lacks necessary details. MIL-STD-3072 defines the characteristics of 600 VDC electric power that will be supplied to utilization equipment. Following this release, MIL-HDBK-3072 will provide suggested test methods for compliance with the standard, and MIL-PRF-3072 will provide generic device specifications for interfaces, control, and safety. Together, these three documents define a set of requirements that vehicles and equipment with 600 VDC electrical systems must operate within.
