A propulsion system for an unmanned underwater vehicle includes a turbine engine (160), a generator (440) mechanically coupled to an output shaft of the turbine engine, an electrical motor (450) mechanically decoupled from the turbine engine (160) and electrically coupled to the generator (440) via a power bus architecture, and a propulsor (460) mechanically coupled to a rotational output of the electrical motor (450). The power bus architecture includes a pair of AC buses (420A, 420B) and a DC bus (410). The two AC buses can be directly connected to each other by means of power contactors (422), thereby bypassing the DC bus.
