BAE Systems’ on-board power management system for military vehicles addresses U.S. Army and global ground force requirements for more electric power and smart management of power loads. The integrated, modular, scalable system generates and manages electric power for use on the vehicle and as an exportable power source, eliminating the need for towed generators.
The system more than doubles the electric power output of most military vehicles to increase mission effectiveness and provide new capabilities such as force protection, improved mobility, command and control, and crew comfort. The system also provides exportable power during natural disasters and to support facilities and equipment such as field hospitals, command centers and water purification systems.
The on-board power management system is designed to be common across most platforms, making system integration easier and minimizing the need for logistics support. The system is adaptable for new vehicles and upgrades to existing vehicles. It has been implemented on the Paladin PIM and demonstrated on the U.S. Army’s High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle, Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles and Stryker vehicle.
