Lightweight DC/DC Power System

This opportunity relates to the ability to construct a flexible power system that is capable of operating from one power source or power multiple sources. The system would be composed of multiple lower power DC-DC converter units, which can be paralleledto expand power outputs in discrete multiples, sharing power loads relatively uniformly. This flexible power system would be comprised of small modules, each handling a small fraction of the overall power.The availability of a flexible power converterarchitecture could allow faster power bus development and allow stocking of a small number of common part types for multiple applications. This can result in large cost savings due to amortization of space related lot costs such as element qualificationand radiation tests.
