FUTURE. ANTICIPATED. HYBRID POWER SUPPLY FOR AIR DEFENSE SYSTEMS. DOUBLES RELIABILITY, HALVES LOGISTICS EFFORTS. Powering the Patriot™ with global success for over 30 years. Generating, controlling, and delivering electric power is crucial for the effective deployment of modern military forces. This is particularly the case for air defense systems, where reliable power generation is the prerequisite for the efficiency of highly sophisticated and life-protecting equipment. With its field-proven power systems, VINCORION has been part of Patriot’s global success story for more than 30 years. In order to support the future of Patriot, VINCORION has developed and implemented the next generation of energy supply. Our Hybrid Power Genset, proposed for Patriot, features latest innovations for minimizing operating costs. Its intelligent power management, peak-power supercap storage, and commercial grid interface allow for the use of a smaller, highly reliable, and more fuel-efficient engine-generator unit. VINCORION’s new hybrid genset, proposed for Patriot, includes all electrical and mechanical interfaces to the Patriot system and is therefore completely interchangeable with existing units and ready to be integrated into the missile system, improving the economics of operation and the system operational readiness dramatically. Patriot is a trademark of RAYTHEON CO

PROVEN POWER SUPPLY SYSTEMS FOR AIR DEFENSE MISSIONS. READY TO REACT – ANY TIME AND ANY PLACE. COMPLETE POWER SUPPLY SYSTEMS FOR THE PATRIOT. The Patriot has now been deployed in 13 countries, with eight of them using the highly reliable VINCORION power supply system. VINCORION is your experienced, powerful partner. For more than three decades now, we have been providing state-of-the-art military energy supply solutions: VINCORION has been successfully developing and manufacturing various kinds of gensets, power units, converters, and energy systems for civil and military vehicles, mobile...

HYBRID GENSET PROPOSED FOR PATRIOT. NEXT-LEVEL POWER SUPPLY. The Patriot Launcher requires the maximum generator power only in special operating conditions; regular operation requires only a small amount of power. However, the low power consumption leads to soot build up in the exhaust system, which necessitates a regular overhaul of the system. Our solution: the use of high-energy storage (super capacitors) to absorb peak loads and adaptation of the diesel engine (downsizing) to the average required power consumption of the starter. –– Downsizing of the engine and constant operation in the...

THE CHALLENGE OF FUEL SUPPLY IN DEPLOYMENT, EXAMPLE: INTERNATIONAL SECURITY ASSISTANCE FORCE (ISAF). During their mission in Afghanistan, the ISAF demanded 1.8 million gallons (6.8 million liters) fuel every day for their equipment1. With fuel costs of 100 to 400 USD per gallon applying the fully burdened cost of fuel2, smart energy-saving solutions are essential. Thanks to reduced fuel and operating costs in deployment, the VINCORION hybrid power supply pays for itself after less than eight months and we provide operational forces more flexibility and make them less dependent on the...
