Integrated Power Systems (IPS)
Abstract
This project supports the development and transition of Naval Power and Energy Systems including power generation, power conversion, power distribution, energy storage, power utilization and automation and control functions for fully integrated electric propulsion (such as T-AKE -1 class or DDG1000 class), hybrid electric propulsion (such as LHD 8 and LHA(R) class), as well as legacy mechanical propulsion ships (such as DDG51 class). This project supports optimized integration of Directed Energy (DE) and other high powered mission systems, appropriate component and system controls, integration of components and systems into future and current ships, and providing power and energy system solution alternatives to new and existing platforms. Project developments are aligned with the Navy's 30 year shipbuilding plan via the Naval Power and Energy Systems Technology Development Roadmap (TDR), which outlines the way ahead for future developments and provides a basis for coordinated planning and investment by the Navy and private industry. This project develops and transitions products that electrically integrate and provide power to mission systems, integrates those components and systems into ship platforms, increases energy efficiency, and provides cybersecurity capabilities for current in-service Hull, Mechanical and Electrical (HM&E) systems as well as future systems. Power and Energy Systems combines previously shown Energy Efficiency and Mission Power R2A Accomplishments and Plans to reflect the focus on providing power and energy solutions for warfighting capability. Energy efficiency is but one of several requirements levied upon these systems and the distinction between mission power and energy efficiency is very difficult to divide out. The systems developed by this Project are by their very nature the foundation of the ships kill chain, and are developed with efficiency requirements as part of total life cycle cost minimization. Efforts within Power and Energy Systems are to design, develop, test and integrate shipboard power systems to incorporate advanced sensors, directed energy and other advanced weapons. Design and testing includes modeling and simulation, as well as land based testing, to reduce risk and demonstrate readiness for shipboard use. Cybersecurity: Develops an approach to implement a cybersecurity Boundary Defense Capability (BDC) for HM&E control systems on surface ships. The HM&E systems to be protected from cyber-attack by BDC include machinery control systems, electric power systems, damage control and firefighting, auxiliary machinery and fluid systems, engines and power transmission systems, gas turbine systems, video systems, as well as other HM&E systems. Design and technical data packages for software and hardware solutions will be developed. Cybersecurity BDC will allow the ship to better protect, detect, respond, and recover from cyber-attack.
