Naval hybrid propulsion and power systems

Opened

Code: 35988 | Identifier Code: EDF-2025-LS-RA-SI-ENERENV-NH2PS-STEP | Programme name: 3564 | Start submission calls: 18/02/2025 | End submission calls: 16/10/2025

This call topic aims to address the design of a prototype, the testbed and general architecture for a future modular and hybrid propulsion systems, hybrid DC power systems and their components for military application, while performing its system integration in a combined digital and physical development environment. These novel propulsion and power systems can achieve reduced Green House Gas (GHG) and hazardous emissions from well-to-wake in peacetime and can power wartime missions effectively with maximum autonomy at sea, survivability and minimal and controllable noise, infrared, electromagnetic and radar-cross-section signatures. To achieve these benefits, mostly civilian developed technology needs to be navalised and effectively integrated in the naval propulsion and power system. These naval propulsion and power systems aim to serve a wide spectrum of naval vessels ranging from small and lightweight high-speed combat vessels, slow speed manhunting vessels and motherships, medium- and high-speed frigates, through to high-speed air-defence destroyers. These vessels have in common that they serve a wide range of propulsion systems, diverse variable speed drives and many DC combat system loads and therefore could all benefit from modular and scalable hybrid propulsion systems and hybrid DC power systems.
