Ship Power and Propulsion Solutions

Reliable Power Distribution, Conversion, Propulsion, and Energy Storage Systems Proven to Perform in Harsh Marine Environments.

As naval electrical power needs rapidly expand and fleets increasingly seek to become more efficient as the technology becomes more capable, the next logical step is for ships and submarines to become more electrified – reducing maintenance and increasing availability, all while remaining environmentally conscious and sustainable. All of this enables today’s Navy to operate more quietly to give Sailors and Marines the edge.

Successful electrification requires integration into a range of platforms—for both ship and shore infrastructure—and is critical for a successful transition to a more electric fleet.

With our long history of innovative solutions, Leonardo DRS is the front-runner in Navy platform electrification—providing the highest-efficiency propulsion motors on the market, and ultra-quiet power and propulsion systems for a range of land and sea operations.

Leonardo DRS’ integrated power and propulsion solutions uniquely suited to optimize electric drive benefits for Navy combatants. Take our electric and hybrid-electric ship propulsion systems for example. They’re constructed using advanced permanent magnet technology and high-performance power electronics modules – maximizing power density, reliability, and ruggedness.

And our energy magazine allows for on-demand power anytime for a variety of applications—including pulse weapons. The modular design helps drive affordability and offers flexible configurations to fit different applications and space requirements.

Leonardo DRS power and propulsion solutions have delivered outstanding availability for decades. Our integrated electric drive systems, in conjunction with our advanced energy magazine solutions, provide the most reliable, flexible, and cost-effective naval propulsion systems available. We maximize the power available on surface ships for use with both advanced weapons and sensors—so you own the edge.
