Naval Power Systems for Maritime Defence

Customised Power Conversion for Naval Programmes

Resilient power for dynamic naval operations. TT Electronics designs and manufactures ruggedised naval power conversion systems for surface ships, submarines and maritime support infrastructure. Whether powering radar arrays, propulsion subsystems or advanced communications, our shipboard power converters are engineered for the strict electrical, thermal and environmental demands of naval defence — salt fog, shock, vibration and EMC.

With over 30 years of experience supporting global defence contractors and shipbuilders, we provide AC-DC, DC-DC, DC-AC, AC-AC, high-voltage, bidirectional and tridirectional systems for platform voltages from legacy 28Vdc through 270Vdc high-power systems to emerging 540Vdc naval DC distribution. From ultra-compact power supplies to ruggedised transformer rectifier units (TRUs) and active power factor correction (APFC), our naval power supply systems are qualified to MIL-STD-810, RTCA DO-160, MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-1399 Section 300.

We don't just deliver power. We engineer naval defence reliability.

AX-Force®: Award-Winning Power Conversion for Naval Platforms

AX-Force won Best in Show in the Power Electronics category at DSEI 2025. Built on silicon carbide (SiC) power modules, this software-configurable bidirectional and tridirectional converter delivers >96% efficiency and scales to 150kW through parallel units. It is designed to RTCA DO-160, MIL-STD-704 and MIL-STD-461.

For naval platforms, that means one hardware platform for high-demand combat system loads, electric and hybrid-electric propulsion subsystems and energy recovery. Compared with traditional ATRUs, AX-Force delivers improved power quality and faster dynamic response in a smaller, lighter footprint.
