Abstract :
A project is currently underway to develop a bi-directional advanced hybrid drive system (AHDS) for application to a future surface combatant. This system would support propulsion powered through ship service gas turbine generators, as well as ship service power supplied from the mechanical propulsion gas turbines. This paper discusses system studies currently being conducted to assess the requirements and implications of incorporation of two such AHDS units on a future surface combatant.
