Leonardo DRS, Inc. (NASDAQ: DRS) announced today it is
introducing its next-generation of power conversion technology in
the company’s Pivotal Power Solutions line of products, to ensure
available and reliable electrical power for mission-critical
systems on U.S. Navy ships.
The new Leonardo DRS 6KVA Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is
the next step in providing conditioned backup power to command,
control, and communication systems where a clean, reliable power
supply is mission critical.
The system is based on proven fielded technology developed by
Leonardo DRS providing dependable backup power in a smaller,
lighter package and meets the demanding electrical requirements in
MIL-DTL-24765. This new technology also provides more robust power
than many systems currently in use.
“We are proud to continue our legacy of providing the
highest-reliability power conversion solutions to support our naval
warfighters in the United States, Canada and other allies around
the world,” said Cari Ossenfort, senior vice president and general
manager of the Leonardo DRS Naval Electronics business unit.
“Qualified to the Navy’s MIL-spec gold standard, the new 6KVA AC
UPS technology is steeped in our long legacy of providing
ship-board power conversion systems, providing even stronger
performance than our current product line.”
This cutting-edge UPS is form, fit, function, and backwards
compatible with existing DRS UPS systems with upgraded technology
reducing lifecycle and maintenance costs. It is designed for longer
battery life and is optimized for use with valve regulated lead
acid (VRLA) and lithium (LiFePO4) battery chemistries significantly
reducing battery maintenance over the life of the equipment.
With the advances in electrical performance and power density,
multiple loads can be powered by one robust and maintainable source
that is monitored and integrated with the ship’s machinery control
system. This allows integrators to increase computing density on
board Naval vessels by removing point-of-use rackmount UPS systems
and making room for the increase in networking equipment.
Leonardo DRS is a leading provider of next-generation power
conversion and propulsion technology for the U.S. Navy, with major
systems for next-generation submarines and surface ships. The
company’s experience and proven performance with electric
conversion systems continues to provide mission critical support
for the increased power requirements of current and future naval
platforms.
