The Number One Choice
for Complex Missions
Leading Supplier of Power Supply Systems
People all over the world rely on air defense systems. They are among the most complex military systems. Important components include the launcher, the command center, and radar units. VINCORION is the market leader in power supplies for air defense systems. We meet all MIL standards and can offer an extremely high level of customization
In Use around the Globe
Our solutions are used in many popular systems – first and foremost in the Patriot air defense system. We also supply the power system for the COBRA counter-battery radar system. In addition to other projects such as MEADS/TLVS or the RAT-31 air surveillance radar, we are also equipped to meet your special load requirements with our tailored power solutions.
The Challenge:
The Patriot is the world’s leading air defense system – and it’s powered by VINCORION. A core element of the system is the HPS launcherV. Like many other military systems, maximum power is required for only a fraction of the operating time. Nevertheless, the gensets are designed for this maximum load. This leads to inefficient idle times with high fuel consumption, engine and exhaust system wear and tear, and high maintenance requirements.
The Solution:
VINCORION’s HPS launcherV hybrid genset for the Patriot is an innovative solution to this challenge. The variable-speed diesel genset is designed for the typical and actual load profile and is backed up at peak loads by a power storage unit made of supercaps. In this context, the genset meets all MIL and system requirements and can be used as a plug-and-play solution in all Patriot systems worldwide, as a successful trial with the US Army over several months demonstrated.
The Challenge:
Security and military superiority depend on reliable radar operations that are self-sufficient at all times. Each radar system has individual load requirements.
The Solution:
VINCORION has been supplying various air and ground radar systems for decades, e.g., all of the radar systems used in the Patriot air defense system worldwide. Due to the growing number of countries that now rely on the Patriot system, the partnership between VINCORION and Patriot manufacturer Raytheon is extremely productive. We also supply the power system for the European COBRA counter-battery radar system. In addition to other projects such as MEADS/TLVS or the RAT-31 air surveillance radar, we are also able to meet the special load requirements of your radar system with our customized power solutions.
