Strike Force Interoperability
The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) Naval Systems Engineering Directorate (SEA 05) is responsible for the full lifecycle engineering of the Navy’s ships, submarines, and warfare systems.
The U.S. faces limitations in using lithium-ion powered vehicles aboard maritime platforms due to safety concerns. These restrictions reduce the efficiency of onboard energy sources and hinder modernization efforts. To address this challenge, our customer sought a solution that could safely integrate advanced energy storage systems into their platforms without compromising operational safety.
VTG developed the Critical Battery Management System (CBMS), a pioneering solution designed to enable safe use of lithium-ion technology aboard maritime platforms.
VTG’s CBMS marks a critical advancement in the Navy’s energy modernization strategy. With this system, larger lithium-ion powered vehicles can be safely employed aboard maritime platforms, expanding the range of deployable assets. The solution enhances mission flexibility and energy efficiency while maintaining strict safety standards and expanding the options for deployment of lithium-ion systems across naval operations.
