VINCORION Generators: Increasingly Demanding Requirements on the Battlefield Require Innovative Power Generation Solutions.<\/em><\/h6>\n

A boxer is on a mission somewhere in Europe, maneuvering in a complex situation \u2013 the crew has to react quickly and is dependent on its high-tech systems. Target acquisition sensors, for example, detect enemy positions, encrypted communication systems maintain contact with the command post, and effective weapon systems deliver the necessary firepower. But all this requires energy \u2013 and the demands are growing rapidly. Modern military vehicles are \u201cpower plants on wheels,\u201d and a reliable power supply is becoming a critical factor for mission success.<\/p>\n

When it comes to military power supplies, VINCORION plays a vital role. With its generators, the technology company headquartered in Wedel, near Hamburg, Germany, offers solutions for use in military vehicles. They provide a reliable supply of power, even under extreme conditions. The company\u2019s generators can be found, for example, in vehicles such as the Leopard 2 main battle tank, the Boxer, the Puma, and the Panzerhaubitze 2000 self-propelled howitzer.<\/p>\n

Power for the Infantry Mother Ship<\/strong><\/h6>\n

These generators are in demand \u2013 VINCORION recently signed a contract to supply 740 EPG husky W 600 onboard generators for the Boxer. This generator supplies up to 600 amps of power, making it ready for future requirements as well. A new digital voltage regulator has been incorporated, enabling the generator to be adapted to different applications.<\/p>\n

In the German army, the GTK Boxer is the \u201cmother ship\u201d of the infantry, and is available to the German armed forces in various versions as a group transport vehicle, command vehicle, heavy armored ambulance, and also as a driving school vehicle. The Boxer\u2019s fighting compartment can carry eight infantrymen along with the latest equipment.<\/p>\n

Compact, Powerful, and Rugged: VINCORION Generators in Detail<\/strong><\/h6>\n

VINCORION\u2019s EPG husky series stands out thanks to its compact design and high power density. It delivers maximum performance with a small footprint, which is crucial in light of the limited space available in military vehicles.\u00a0 At the same time, reliability is always the top priority for the company\u2019s engineers \u2013 VINCORION generators are designed to operate under extreme conditions, regardless of whether that means heat, cold, dust, or vibrations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new, more powerful Boxer is a prime example of the increasing demands on the power supply in modern military vehicles,\u201d reports Daniel Zeitler, Head of Product Management. The Boxer is currently used by many countries in Europe and beyond. In addition to the German armed forces, the vehicle is also deployed in the Netherlands, Lithuania, Great Britain, and Australia.<\/p>\n

VINCORION\u2019s generators provide the power required for the Boxer\u2019s sophisticated systems, ensuring that the weapon technology, sensor technology, and communication systems remain fully operational. VINCORION can now offer generators with up to 1,000 amps in the conventional 28V range, which can be retrofitted in various vehicles. After all, experts know that the energy demand in armored vehicles will continue to increase. The best example of this is the power-hungry PUMA infantry fighting vehicle, which can only be operated using a high-voltage generator. In contrast to conventional onboard generators, this is integrated directly into the main shaft between the engine and transmission. This high-performance power supply system is also from VINCORION.<\/p>\n

Innovative Technologies for Maximum Efficiency<\/strong><\/h6>\n

But what makes the 28V generators in the EPG husky series so special?\u00a0 On the one hand, they feature innovative cooling technology that enables a high power density in the smallest of spaces, as Daniel Zeitler explains. On the other hand, the generators are specifically designed to emit an extremely small amount of electromagnetic interference to ensure the functionality of other electronic systems in the vehicle. Their ruggedness and reliability are ensured through the use of high-quality materials and strict quality control procedures.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new generator is \u2018plug-and-play\u2019 with the old one,\u201d says Zeitler, \u201dit precisely fits into the existing installation space in the vehicles.\u201d This means that, in addition to all new vehicles, existing Boxers could also be equipped with them when the demand for power increases. The predecessor model, the SF 217, was able to deliver 370 amps, and this has been increased to 600 amps in the new version. \u201cModern military technology requires power. We are specialists in the field of military power supplies.<\/p>\n

Added Benefit for Deployed Troops<\/strong><\/h6>\n

This means that the generators can also provide direct additional benefits for soldiers on missions.\u00a0 A reliable power supply means reliable communication, improved situational awareness, and increased firepower \u2013 crucial factors for the safety and success of the mission. In addition, the generators help make the vehicle interior more comfortable by providing energy for air conditioning, lighting, and other comfort systems.<\/p>\n

Whether for a light-duty armored personnel carrier or a heavy battle tank \u2013 VINCORION offers the right solution. The generators reliably supply electricity to power all onboard systems. \u201cThe generator is barely affected by changes in ambient temperature,\u201d adds Zeitler. \u201cIn other words, it delivers peak performance at all times.\u201d<\/p>\n

Strict Standards and Flexibility<\/strong><\/h6>\n

\u201cThe generators meet the strict MIL-STD standards, ensuring maximum reliability and safety in the field, explains Abbo Horstmann, Senior Product Manager. This means they comply with military standards regarding the quality of the onboard electrical system.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe flexibility of VINCORION generators is also reflected in their numerous configuration options,\u201d emphasizes Horstmann. In addition to the standard versions, VINCORION offers tailored solutions to optimally integrate the generators into the respective vehicle platforms. For example, a generator can be mechanically adapted via the anchor points \u2013 but beyond that, all the relevant parameters can also be customized via the software.<\/p>\n

VINCORION has many years of experience and extensive expertise in developing and manufacturing generators for the defense industry. \u201cThe latest orders show us that demand for the Boxer remains high. It also shows that manufacturers of modern military technology are placing their trust in VINCORION components and are using them to equip their vehicles,\u201d Daniel Zeitler sums up.<\/p>\n

The generators are just one example of VINCORION\u2019s expertise in this field; the company also supplies generators that provide mobile power to the German military, power for air defense systems such as Patriot and IRIS-T, and advanced systems such as the GTD Chaser weapon stabilization system for armored vehicles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
