Electric weapons such as the Electromagnetic Railgun and the Laser Weapon System, advanced high power sensors and Electronic Warfare systems will be ready for advanced surface combatant designs in the coming decades. To affordably supply these high power electric loads will likely require an integrated power system. If a surface combatant of less than 10,000 mt is desired, high power density of the electrical generation, distribution, and propulsion equipment will be needed. To achieve these power densities, Medium Voltage DC (MVDC) will likely be required. This lecture proposes an MVDC architecture to support this future warship. ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Dr. Norbert Doerry is a graduate of the United States Naval Academy where he earned a BSEE degree. Following Surface Warfare Officer School in Newport, Rhode Island, he served as Gunnery and Fire Control Officer and qualified as a Surface Warfare Officer on USS DEYO (DD 989). He went on to become an Engineering Duty Officer and reported to MIT for postgraduate education. Following completion of a Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and a Naval Engineer Degree, Doerry continued his studies at MIT and earned a Ph.D. in Naval Electrical Power Systems.
