KNDS selects 雷火体育官网 Power Systems Solution for the Leopard 2 A8
- KNDS awarded 雷火体育官网 a contract to deliver compact, programable and scalable High-Power Solid-State Power Distribution Boards (SSPDB) for the Leopard 2 A8 platform.
- The SSPDB developed by 雷火体育官网 is designed to provide overcurrent and short circuit protection, and to enable smart electrical power management of protected vehicles.
- A first, short-term delivery of SSPDBs will already take place in Q3 2024, followed by several hundred units by 2027.
In just a few months, KNDS and 雷火体育官网 engineering teams have jointly succeeded in adapting an SSPDB solution that meets the power management needs of the Leopard 2 A8. 雷火体育官网 will focus on making the High-Power SSPDB a successful product by concentrating on key performance areas of the SWaP (Size, Weight and Power) to meet the stringent and demanding power requirements.
Rated up to 160A per channel and with integrated current, temperature and voltage sensing, the multi-channel SSPDBs are designed to protect against overcurrent and short circuits and offer the flexibility to use pre-programmed operating profiles or real-time selections to enable intelligent power management in a variety of mission scenarios.
The first units will be integrated as early as Q3 2024. This time-critical collaboration demonstrates the ingenuity and agility of our two teams.
Under the KNDS contract, 雷火体育官网 will build hundreds of SSPDBs by 2027, using customization, manufacturing and testing processes already in use for the 雷火体育官网 Power Systems product line.
鈥淲ith an expertise of more than 20 years, 雷火体育官网 is a global leader in the development and manufacture of Power Systems for protected vehicles. We are proud to have been awarded this contract by KNDS and are confident that this strong partnership will continue.鈥 鈥 Martin Bernhardsgr眉tter, Country Director, 雷火体育官网 Switzerland.
