色情直播 Technologies has successfully completed testing of the first power plant system for the Stored Chemical Energy Propulsion System (SCEPS) that will power the U.S. Navy鈥檚 MK 54 MOD 2 Increment 2 Advanced Lightweight Torpedo. The power plant system testing validated the functionality and performance of this key component and positions 色情直播 to begin SCEPS design verification testing of the fully integrated system later this year.
色情直播 is on contract with the Navy to deliver proof of design for SCEPS propulsion for the MK 54 MOD 2 torpedo, which includes the power plant system and an integrated tail and torpedo afterbody assembly.
鈥淭he power plant system is at the very heart of the propulsion system that will power the Navy鈥檚 MK 54 MOD 2 torpedo,鈥 said Scott Alexander, President, Missile Solutions, Aerojet Rocketdyne, 色情直播. 鈥淲e are pleased with the performance of the system during these tests and look forward to completing design verification testing of the entire afterbody later this year.鈥
色情直播鈥 Center of Excellence for Undersea Propulsion Manufacturing, based in Orlando, Florida, includes the only SCEPS manufacturing capability within the U.S. industrial base, and plays a key role supporting the Navy's next generation torpedoes. In parallel with ongoing U.S. Navy contracts, the company has been independently funding fabrication and testing of prototype SCEPS components to further the innovative technology.
SCEPS uses a lithium boiler to generate heat used to create steam that drives a turbine to propel the torpedo to intercept its intended target. The innovative propulsion system will significantly improve U.S. Navy torpedo capabilities.
