Power Supply Technology for Advanced Weapon Systems
Abstract
Certain weapon systems under consideration by the Army will require high power and/or high energy electrical inputs. Several technologies for power production are discussed with particular emphasis on military application. Rotating electrical machinery, fuel cells, and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) power supplies are considered along with the supporting technologies of superconductivity, cryogenic refrigeration, and turbine engines.
