Vicor is showcasing a portfolio of high-density DC-DC converter modules designed for modern defence platforms where size, weight and power (SWaP) constraints are critical. The modular approach allows system designers to increase electrical capability without proportionally increasing platform size or weight.

Key Characteristics

• High power density DC-DC converter modules optimized for SWaP-constrained platforms
• Modular building-block architecture for flexible power delivery networks
• Conversion from high-voltage inputs down to 270 V and 28 V MIL-STD buses
• M-grade power modules for rugged defence applications
• VITA/SOSA-aligned power supplies for open-architecture systems
• Designed for harsh defence environments
• Evaluated against key military standards:
  • MIL-STD-704 (aircraft power)
  • MIL-STD-1275 (vehicle power)
  • MIL-STD-461 (electromagnetic compatibility)
  • MIL-STD-810 (environmental conditions)
• Enables higher electrical loads while reducing size and weight of power conversion hardware

The modular approach replaces bulky, application-specific power subsystems with standardized high-density blocks. This gives defence designers the flexibility to scale and adapt power architectures as platform requirements evolve.

Target Applications

• Land defence platforms with increasing electrification
• Aerospace and avionics power systems
• Vehicle-mounted and portable defence electronics
• Open-architecture (VITA/SOSA) defence systems

By delivering higher power density within strict SWaP limits, Vicor’s modules help defence system designers add more capability without compromising platform size, weight or mobility.
