An unmanned underwater vehicle propulsion system (400) includes a turbine engine (430) having a mechanical output (432), an electrical generator (440) including a mechanical connection to the mechanical output, and an electrical input/output. At least one power bus (410, 420) connects the electrical input/output to one of a motor drive and a motor (450). A rechargeable energy storage system (416) is connected to the at least one power bus and is configured to provide power to the power bus in at least a first mode and receive power from the power bus in a second mode. A controller is configured to control at least one of the electrical generator (440), the motor drive, the motor (450), and the rechargeable energy source (416).
