Cruise Missile Power System
Abstract
The program was for design and development of an exploratory advanced generator and control unit which would have an improved energy density over present day components. This generator was to be applied to cruise missiles which might be operational in the next 10 to 20 years with higher power loads. Loads were analyzed for future cruise missile missions. The prototype generator and control unit were fabricated and tested to verify the design and the analysis. Concepts reviewed were: mounting the generator and control unit internally on the engine rotor shaft and on the accessory pad, as in the present cruise missile. Because of cooling difficulties, the generator of the size selected could not be integrated in the shaft of any conceived engine size. Thus, the provision is for accessory pad mounting. The weight of the generator and control unit is 27.75 pounds and 227 cubic inches for a 5kW rating.
