Naval Electrification: “A critical part of The Kill Chain”

Electrification is key to the Navy’s future. It’s the enabler for high-power radars, navy networks, directed-energy weapons for counter-unmanned systems and missiles, and prime mover propulsion for silent running and shortening the logistical chain for refueling.

In this Spotlight on Naval Electrification, we look at what the US Navy is doing now to electrify, why it’s vital to the Great Power competition, and advances in batteries and energy storage.
