Enhanced Missile Defense Power Delivery Case Study

This case study details the challenges faced in missile defense systems requiring advanced power delivery solutions. As missile defense weapons evolve, they necessitate higher performance power delivery to support sophisticated on-board technology for improved accuracy and mission success. The Vicor solution includes high-performance power modules that meet these needs by providing thermal, mechanical, and high-density benefits. The Vicor DCM™ DC-DC converter is highlighted for its capability to convert 28V MIL-STD-704F input to -28V, delivering high power under challenging conditions. It features a wide input range of 16V to 50V and achieves peak efficiency of 93.6%. The case study emphasizes the advantages of smaller system size and lighter weight, along with high performance in harsh environments. The Vicor DCM3623 converter exemplifies these capabilities, showcasing the effectiveness of zero voltage switching (ZVS) topology in enhancing power system performance across various applications.
