Background
reliability
to the 15KW generator 
to:
 – Reduce fuel consumption, sparing items,
maintenance times and costs associated with
generator repairs
Root Cause
than steady state
peak load with margin
 – Wet stacking results in increased generator
maintenance and eventually generator failure
LAUNCHER RELIABILITY
Launcher and Fire Unit RAM

Solution
• Add a Power Distribution Unit/Control Logic
Assembly (PDU/CLA)
alternate power sources (solar, wind, etc.)
 – Supplements the 5KW generator with batteries to
provide peak power 
• Incorporates prognostics
accessible
 – Batteries keep the Launcher electronics alive
• Reduced fuel consumption
• Forward and backward compatible
• Same mounting pattern as current 15KW generator 
• Same Launcher interface cables as current 15KW
generator
