Future combat vehicles will require higher agility and unconventional weapons and armor systems such as Electromagnetic (EM) or Electro-Thermal Chemical (ETC) Guns, electro-Magnetic (EM) Armor and Directed energy Weapons (DEW). To meet these requirements, hybrid electric power system has been identified as the best alternative to support the demand for propulsion, continuous axillary power demand and pulsed power demand for weapons and armor. Although the development of these weapons and Armor Technologies are progressing at a fast rate and can be demonstrated at a smaller scale today, the power supply needed to be integrated in the vehicles to support these systems present a great challenge to technology supply needed to be integrated in the vehicles to support these systems present a great challenge to technology developers and vehicle integrators. This paper will explore the power supply requirements for the continuous and pulsed power loads and will discuss their integration challenges in a 20-ton class hybrid electric combat vehicle.
