Navy ships appear to be most attractive platforms for fielding pulsed power weapons systems. Naval Surface Warfare Center, Annapolis (NSWC/A) is participating in a 60 mm Electro-Thermal Chemical (ETC) gun demonstration program for anti-ship missile defense funded by the Balanced Technology Initiative. In support of this program, NSWC/A is conducting shipboard integration studies for the pulsed power system to expose and find solutions to the interface issues of adapting the pulsed power system from the laboratory to the fleet. The gun, platform and loaders are being developed for compatible replacement of existing gun hardware. This minimizes shipboard impact caused by the gun system. The choice of technologies and architectures used to supply power to the weapon system will have an impact on ship design and arrangement. This paper examines the ship integration issues associated with power extraction from the propulsion engines, conditioning that power and delivering it to the pulsed power weapon.
