Abstract :
The size, weight, power rating, availability and reliability of electrical power systems are important for future weapons systems. Applications could include: advanced vehicles and systems; potential new weapons; and man-portable or alternative power. Over twenty R&D studies in pulsed power have been initiated by IAT for the US Army over the last three years. Highlights of some developments in rotating machines and pulse-forming network (PFN) components are described
