Abstract :
Summary form only given. ONR Division 334, the "Ship Hull, Mechanical, and Electrical Systems Science and Technology Division" focuses on basic and applied research and technology development for five ONR corporate thrusts: reduced signatures, hydromechanics, hull life assurance, advanced electrical power systems, and distributed intelligence for automated survivability. As the program manager of the advanced electrical power systems (AEPS) thrust the panelist present an overview of the thrust whose objectives are to provide the enabling science, technology and design tools to allow electrical power systems, electric propulsion, and auxiliary systems to meet future mission and affordability requirements. AEPS technologies will be applicable to all future surface ship, aircraft carrier, and submarine platforms.
