A propulsion system (400) for an unmanned underwater vehicle (100) includes a turbine engine (160) having a rotational output, an electrical generator mechanically connected to the rotational output and electrically connected to an Alternating Current (AC) power bus (430). A magnitude of an AC output of the electrical generator is independent of rotational speed of the rotational input. An electrical motor connected to the AC power bus, and includes a mechanical output.
