General Atomics has been awarded a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract by the Naval Sea Systems Command for research and development (R&D) activities related to power loads.

Under the $12.3m contract, the company will design an advanced integrated power systems power load module and pulsed power loads for future surface combatants.

The power load modules could be used for pulse-forming networks to power future lasers, railguns or radars.

The concept may also be considered as a means of implementing energy storage for use on the weapon system and to power onboard ships.
