The ability to provide high-voltage power on ground vehicle platforms is a rapidly growing requirement as high peak power is often needed to accelerate a high-inertia load.

High Voltage Turret Drive Stabilization System (HV TDSS) converts, stores, controls 28V source power up to 750V.

High Voltage Turret Drive Stabilization System (HV TDSS) converts, stores, controls 28V source power to 750V without increasing SWaP-C.

Now that the Army has chosen its preferred Future Long Range Assault Aircraft in Bell’s V-280 advanced tiltrotor, the race is on to populate it with mission systems that will allow the machine to operate through adversaries’ sophisticated air defense systems.
